Diploma & certificate level; Admission selections 2017
The National Council for Technical Education (NACTE) was established by Act of Parliament Cap. 129 to oversee and coordinate the provision of technical education and training in Tanzania. Technical education and training in this context is defined as:
“Education and training undertaken by students to equip them to play roles requiring higher levels of skills, knowledge, understanding and attitudes/ethics and in which they take responsibility for their areas of specialization.”
This scope of NACTE covers all tertiary education and training institutions other than universities and their affiliated colleges, delivering courses at technician, semiprofessional and professional levels leading to awards of certificates, diplomas degrees and other related awards.
The mandate of the National Council for Technical Education as derived from Cap. 129 is three fold and may be summarized as below:
RegulatoryFunction: to establish the regulatory framework for technical education and training, leading to quality assured qualifications;
Quality AssuranceFunction: to assist technical institutions to improve and maintain the quality of the education they provide and to ensure that their programmes meet labour market demand, by guiding and monitoring their adherence to the regulatory framework; and
Advisory Function:to advise both Government and technical institutions on the strategic development of technical education and training can be made.
These three aspects are interrelated and together make up the core functions of NACTE; a process leading to quality assured qualifications in technical education and training in our country.

The key issues that NACTE is required to address include, to:
Register and accredit both public and private technical education and training institutions capable of delivering courses;
Register technical teachers (teaching staff in technical institutions);
Ensure that the quality of education required for the NACTE awards is met and maintained throughout the duration of the delivery of the course (monitoring and evaluation);
Ensure the relevance of technical education and training to labour market demand;
Institute systems of quality control and quality assurance in technical education and training; and
Maintain databases on technical education and training, which will serve as a source of information needed by the Government and other stakeholders for strategic development of technical education and training in Tanzania.

As a regulator, NACTE has established a framework that sets the quality standards for technical education and training. All developed procedures leading to registration and accreditation of institutions as well as the adoption of a Technical Education Qualifications Framework are intended to sustain and uphold standards in technical education in Tanzania.
