Caribbean Vocational Training Authorities are failing Caribbean youth

 

Assessors and assessment might actually be the second most important component of vocational training. So any institution that trains and certifies assessors has an important role to play. Trade schools, youth camps and some secondary school departments need assessors to function. So can someone please reply in the comments and tell me why the leader of NTA is getting lifetime achievement awards for Quality Assurance while lots of people cannot get the training and certification? I waited 8 years for training, now waiting 3 months for the certificate. There is an instructor (in the same industry as me) waiting 7 years for assessment. The last assessor training was in June 2022, and they are saying no more training this year. No more? This brings other things into perspective. For example, based on information on the NTA website (and vocational level maths): why have only 19 centres been approved in 20 years? why does the number of certificates issued by the NTA correspond with only 10% of successful SEA students? why are 95% of the certificates issued at level 1? Fix these problems NTA, the nation's youth need assessors.
