Competency Assurance Management System for Enterprises and TVET Institutions

In different Companies and Technical and Vocational Education and Training TVET Institutions (Institutes, Centres and Schools), due attention is given to the performance of the workers / trainees / students by applying both Competency Based Education and Training System CBET as well as Competency Based Workers / Trainees / Students Assessment and Verification Assurance Quality Management System; known simply as Competency Assurance Management System CAMS. These two systems are applied by the management of Companies and TVET Institutions with a view to have reasonable assurance of meeting their business objectives by assuring that their workers / trainees / students are well trained, assessed, verified and competent.

The corporate management of a Company or TVET Institution has to clearly state the mission of their Competency Assurance Management System CAMS and which is generally derived from the following Mission Statement:
