Abstract
Outcome based TVET training is important in today’s development of the economic sector.
Young people and technologies should be ready for a country to fit in the dynamically complex
learning/training and working environment. The case of Ethiopia is no exception, The country
has been in a steady growth in TVET training since its implementation in 2001/02. Compared to
other developed countries TVET training in Ethiopia has not yet reached the required level of
development. This implies more work should be carried out to meet present and future needs of
skilled and well trained man power as per the need of the various training and education fields
and the requirement of the labor market.
The purpose of this work was to conduct a study on design and implementation of a web based e-
Learning support system for TVET training programs. System requirements have been
rigorously collected from the five TVET institutions in Addis Ababa; and consulting related
literatures and software products which are used in other countries has been made. The design
and implementation of a prototype system was done in accordance with the identified functional
and non functional requirements.
The prototype has been tested with data from the five TVET institutes in Addis Ababa. It has
been found out that the system enables the trainers and trainees to register, to download proper
learning materials, to obtain recent information about the TVET training, to see result (progress
chart) for a unit of competency, to send notification by mobile, to download and submit
assignment, to download teachers guide, curriculum, TVET strategy documents, and generate
various reports.
