1. COURSEOVERVIEW

The Craft Instructor Training Scheme is operational since inception of the Craftsmen
Training Scheme. The first Craft Instructors’ Training Institute was established in 1948.
Subsequently, 6 more institutes namely, Central Training Institute for Instructors (now called as
National Skill Training Institute (NSTI)), NSTI at Ludhiana, Kanpur, Howrah, Mumbai, Chennai and
Hyderabad were established in 1960’s by DGT. Since then the CITS course is successfully running
in all the NSTIs across India as well as in DGT affiliated institutes viz. Institutes for Training of
Trainers (IToT). This is a competency based course for instructors of one year duration. “Turner”
CITS trade is applicable for Instructors of “Turner” Trade.

The main objective of Craft Instructor training programme is to enable Instructors explore
different aspects of the techniques in pedagogy and transferring of hands-on skills so as to
develop a pool of skilled manpower for industries, also leading to their career growth &
benefiting society at large. Thus promoting a holistic learning experience where trainee acquires
specialized knowledge, skills & develops attitude towards learning & contributing in vocational
training ecosystem.

This course also enables the instructors to develop instructional skills for mentoring the
trainees, engaging all trainees in learning process and managing effective utilization of resources.
It emphasizes on the importance of collaborative learning & innovative ways of doing things. All
trainees will be able to understand and interpret the course content in right perspective, so that
they are engaged in & empowered by their learning experiences and above all, ensure quality
delivery.

2. TRAINING SYSTEM

2.1 GENERAL
CITS courses are delivered in National Skill Training Institutes (NSTIs) & DGT affiliated
institutes viz., Institutes for Training of Trainers (IToT). For detailed guidelines regarding
admission on CITS, instructions issued by DGT from time to time are to be observed. Further
complete admission details are made available on NIMI web portal
http://www.nimionlineadmission.in. The course is of one-year duration. It consists of Trade
Technology (Professional skills and Professional knowledge), Training Methodology and
Engineering Technology/ Soft skills. After successful completion of the training programme, the
trainees appear in All India Trade Test for Craft Instructor. The successful trainee is awarded NCIC
certificate by DGT.

• Can join as a supervisor in Industries.

2.4 ASSESSMENT & CERTIFICATION

The CITS trainee will be assessed for his/her Instructional skills, knowledge and attitude
towards learning throughout the course span and also at the end of the training program.

2
 TURNER (CITS)

a) The Continuous Assessment(Internal) during the period of training will be done by Formative
Assessment Method to test competency of instructor with respect to assessment criteria set
against each learning outcomes. The training institute has to maintain an individual trainee
portfolio in line with assessment guidelines. The marks of internal assessment will be as per
the formative assessment template provided on www.bharatskills.gov.in

b) The Final Assessment will be in the form of Summative Assessment Method. The All India
Trade Test for awarding National Craft Instructor Certificate will be conducted by DGT as per
the guidelines of DGT. The learning outcome and assessment criteria will be the basis for
setting question papers for final assessment. The external examiner during final examination
will also check the individual trainee’s profile as detailed in assessment guideline before
giving marks for practical examination.

2.4.2 ASSESSMENT GUIDELINE

Appropriate arrangements should be made to ensure that there will be no artificial

barriers to assessment. The nature of special needs should be taken into account while
undertaking the assessment. While assessing, the major factors to be considered are approaches
to generate solutions to specific problems by involving standard/non-standard practices.

Due consideration should also be given while assessing for teamwork,

avoidance/reduction of scrap/wastage and disposal of scrap/waste as per procedure, behavioral
attitude, sensitivity to the environment and regularity in training. The sensitivity towards OSHE
and self-learning attitude are to be considered while assessing competency.

Assessment will be evidence based comprising of the following:

• Demonstration of Instructional Skills (Lesson Plan, Demonstration Plan)
• Record book/daily diary
• Assessment Sheet
• Progress chart
• Video Recording
• Attendance and punctuality
• Viva-voce
• Practical work done/Models
