This Assessment and Training Package is a Competence-Based Education and Training
(CBET) tool and consists of three major parts:
0.1 PART I: The Occupational Profile (OP) of a CEREAL FARMER. This
Occupational Profile which was reviewed by Cereal Farmers practicing in the world
of work mirrors the duties and tasks that Cereal Farmers are expected to perform.
0.2 PART II: Training Modules in the form of guidelines to train Cereal Farmers both
on the job as well as in training centres (or combinations of both venues of
learning). The Training Modules herein have been reviewed basing on the
Occupational Profile and hence are directly relevant for employment.
0.3 PART III: Assessment Instruments in the form of performance (Practical) and
written (theory) test items that can and should be used to assess whether a person
complies with the requirements of employment as a CEREAL FARMER. These
assessment instruments were reviewed jointly by job practitioners (Cereal
Farmers) and instructors based on the occupational profile and training modules.
