Testing and evaluating:
 Practicals will be used to check the skill of trainees.
 A final practical test will determine the proficiency
level of the trainee.
 Accuracy, skill and speed will be the parameters of
evaluation.
Since the course is one of vocational training, only
practicals are being used for evaluation.
Marking /Grading :The trainees can be awarded with
one of four proficiency levels:
1. Highly skilled.
2. Employable.
3. Satisfactory.
4. Dissatisfactory.
 IMPLEMENTATION
• Recruitment of instructors:
 Instructors will be recruited from owners and
employees of cycle repair shops.
 Instructors will also be chosen such that they know
the local language for better interaction.
• Training of trainees:

CONCLUSION
This model can be tried at a mock level to
validate it first. It can be implemented in
every type of environment due to its
versatility and wide mass appeal. It is very
cheap and very affordable for poor people
while helping them gaining skills.
Over time this can be further integrated with
the competitive market to further widen its
reach to the masses.
