In-Formal Training

In-Formal Training

There are several types of training, categorized based on purpose, method, and target audience. Vocational training programs span a wide range of industries and skill levels, each designed to prepare learners for specific careers through hands-on, job-focused instruction.Informal training refers to unstructured, flexible learning that happens naturally through daily work activities, interactions, or self-directed efforts, rather than through planned, organized programs.

Key Characteristics of Informal Training:

✔  Unstructured: No formal curriculum, schedule, or trainer.
✔  Experience-Based: Learning occurs through observation, practice, and problem-solving.
✔  Self-Directed: The learner takes initiative to acquire skills or knowledge.
✔  Continuous: Happens anytime and anywhere, not limited to classrooms.
✔  No Formal Certification: Usually not officially recognized with certificates or degrees. However, some qualification awarding bodies as TTB Sindh opt for a system of recognition of vocational qualifications.

These systems are categorized as:

A:     RPL
B:     RPS (S-II)
