Training Centers Framework

प्रशिक्षण केंद्र मार्गदर्शिका - Center Operations & Affiliation Norms

Understand the operational guidelines, functions, and key responsibilities of affiliated Training Centers (TCs) imparting quality vocational education.

Training Centers Overview

Execution of quality vocational training in aligned and approved qualifications.

"NSQF Training Bodies are the bodies which are on-boarded by a recognized Qualification Awarding Body through affiliation or any such other manner as may be prescribed by NSQF to impart quality training in NSQF aligned and approved qualification/s. With a view to infuse quality assurance across the entire training process, it is imperative to have a robust system of Training Partners (TPs) and Training Centers (TCs) that are fit for the purpose and are equipped to deliver quality training."

"One of the major functions of NSQF Training Bodies includes indirect regulation of TPs and TCs through Qualification Awarding Bodies. Keeping the spirit of the delegated regulation, NSQF has mandated Qualification Awarding Bodies to oversee the functioning, quality, and performance of its training entities through an affiliation/accreditation process. However, broad parameters like availability of learning resources, trainers, infrastructure, industry engagement, assessment, placements, etc. have been prescribed by NSQF which should necessarily be covered in the affiliation norms of a Qualification Awarding Body and reflect in the agreement signed with training entities."

NSQF Training Bodies have empowered Qualification Awarding Bodies to enter into an agreement with their empaneled/affiliated TPs/TCs to offer trainings in approved qualifications.
