Artisans – Section 28
Africa Skills Village would like to provide an opportunity for labourers and employees in
technical and engineering fields to receive recognition for prior learning and skills.
Candidates need to comply with specific criteria as stipulated in the Manpower Act.
This is also a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process. It is for people who has
completed all required training or a person who has never been trained but works as an
‘artisan’ and meets all the requirements to qualify.
Trade Tests offered by Africa Skills Village are available in the following scarce and critical
trades:
Welder Bricklayer Carpenter

2. The difference between the ASV Trade Test and INDLELA Trade Test?
There is no difference because the trade test itself is exactly the same. The route of funding
or registration might be the only difference. The Department of Higher Education & Training
issues the certificates with the “RED SEAL”.
