NORTEC – ODFL STUDENTS MANUAL 2018
1.2 Open Distance and Flexible Learning (ODFL)
Rapid changes witnessed in recent times have affected Zambia’s education system in certain
terms. Changes in social, economic and technological spheres have led to mounting
pressure on Zambia’s education system. The TVET sector, which is particularly seen as
critical in providing solutions to such challenges through the impartation of industrial and life
skills is, however, beset with numerous challenges too. A general problem encountered by
both TVET and the education system in Zambia is limited access to training provision.
To tackle the problem of limited access to training, GRZ has taken cognizance of distance
learning as a key alternative to the conventional training mode. And through collaboration
with its education sector agencies the Zambian government has developed policy
frameworks and key guidelines for the training stakeholders to follow in order operationalize
distance learning. Consequently, many training institutions have seized the initiative and
introduced distance learning as an alternative to conventional training delivery.
At NORTEC, we view distance learning as integral part of our training delivery system. This
is because it enhances both the goals of the College and the nation. ODFL caters for the
training needs of a variety of learners disadvantaged by the conventional school system. The
mode of delivery for the course is also flexible. Thus, students who enroll in our engineering
courses are able to access education in various engineering related skills and professional
development because of the flexible study methods we offer.

NORTEC – ODFL STUDENTS MANUAL 2018
1.3 Principal’s Welcoming Message
On behalf of the Northern Technical College Management Board, the staff and indeed on my
own behalf, I wish to welcome you to Open Distance and Flexible Learning (ODFL) at
Northern Technical College.
In December 2012, Management of the College made a bold decision to start offering
distance learning in Mechanical, Electrical and Automotive Engineering. The decision was
significant for two key reasons:
1. NORTEC became the first training institution in Zambia to offer Engineering courses
through distance learning
2. NORTEC provided opportunity for many willing but disadvantaged learners
Since our involvement in distance learning, we have continued to learn what the needs of
our clients are and how to satisfy them. Experience has taught us that ODFL is a unique and
interesting method of study delivery.
Firstly, we have learned that distance learning is dissimilar to full time learning in that the
learner is separated from the facilitator by both place and time. The separation does present
the learner with both opportunities and disadvantages. The advantage is that the learner
can learn with the convenience of being away from the school set up. However, the
separation of the learner from the trainer can as well create serious challenges especially
where engineering subjects are to be delivered. To overcome the challenges, our College
recognizes the need to employ IT based technologies and carefully designed instructional
material that can lucidly communicate with the learner who is impersonally in contact with
the facilitator. Thus at NORTEC, our ODFL team has given priority to the development of
quality instructional material and the deployment of the Moodle E-learning platform.
The second important lesson we have learnt is that delivering this programme involves
dealing with adult learners. Adult learners, who are already working, can sometimes easily
link their theoretical training with the work situation. Many adults also tend to be highly
motivated because they know what is at stake in case they failed an examination. However,
our College is careful to avoid using such perception to disadvantage our learners. Our team
is aware of the many difficulties under which many of our students have to study, and are
therefore eager to provide assistance such as consultancy, face to face facilitation, revision
classes, feedback, etc. to enable students to derive full benefit from their studies.
Despite the challenges we have overcome and those still to be faced, we are pleased with
the results we have so far achieved. In fact, both the challenges and opportunities that we
keep sighting each moment only strengthen our commitment to make this programme
better.
In conclusion, we are pleased with the rapid growth of the ODFL programme at the College.
Our recent analysis showed that between December 2012 and August 2016, the total of
registered students on ODFL rose from 16 to about over 500. Our long term view of ODFL is
to develop it into a directorate with satellite locations dotted throughout Zambia.

before they are considered for enrolment.
11
NORTEC – ODFL STUDENTS MANUAL 2018
2.1.3 Course Duration and learner progression
Experts and regulators recommend the allocation of a longer duration for distance learning
courses than for full time learning. In this regard, NORTEC Management adds an extra term
to each academic stage or level. By effecting this relaxation to the learning calendar, we
have created more time for our learners’ to study adequately, cover the syllabi and complete
their assessments.

2.2FEES
2.2.1 Tuition fees
Learners are required to pay their school fees termly in line with the College policy.
Management of the College revises the fees through a consultative process with its
stakeholders.
The College demands that each learner pays his/her in full before being allowed to register
for the term.
The fees must be deposited into the following College Bank Account:
Learners and sponsors are advised to ensure that only correct amounts are deposited into
the account. Any over payments will be credited to the student’s account to offset future
fees. Any refunds claimed will attract 15% administration charge.
Whichever way the application form is accessed, the applicant must pay a non-refundable
application fee of K100.00. The fee must be paid directly deposited into the College bank
account given earlier.
N.B: The College does not receive cash payment.
The completed application form can then be submitted to the Student Affairs Officer
13
NORTEC – ODFL STUDENTS MANUAL 2018
If an application is sent through postage or email, it must have an accompanying proof of
payment in form of the original bank deposit slip sent to the College.
It is also important that application forms meant for ODFL are addressed as such to
distinguish them from those meant for full time.
We strive to respond promptly to our clients’ issues. With regards to application for
admission, the applicants can expect response within two weeks. Therefore applicants who
fail to receive response the lapse of reasonable time should notify the ODFL Coordinator.
When new students join ODFL they first undergo an enrolment process to be registered in
the College. On the other hand, the returning students undertake a similar process to
confirm their continuing. The processes are identical and done concurrently on the eve
(Sunday) of the RS, between 08:00 and 17:00 hours
To successfully complete the processes of registration candidates must take the following
steps:
1. collect student enrolment forms (for new students) or confirmation slips for returning
students from ODFL Coordinator /HOD
2. present completed forms and requirements to the Senior Lecturer of your
department
3. register with matron/warden and SAO for room allocation and further registration
4. present deposit slip or make payment at the Accounts office for receipting
5. Submit documents at the registry for filing.
A learner who fails to register with the college during the registration period is in breach of
the conditions of the offer and therefore liable to forfeit his or her place. To avoid having
their offer revoked learners are required to communicate to the Principal of the College their
situation. In extreme cases, learners may request to defer their enrolment.
This registration is very important because TEVETA admits students in their courses based
on this process. Students who fail to register with TEVETA can never be recognized as
bonafide.
14
NORTEC – ODFL STUDENTS MANUAL 2018
To successfully complete registration take the steps below:
1. collect the TEVETA enrolment forms ODFL office
2. complete the forms and attaches all requirements
3. present enrolment forms to the HOD for verification and approval
4. leave the form with the HOD once it is approved
Learners need to know that their registration is only completed if TEVETA approves the
learners’ enrolments and provides learners with student numbers. Feedback from TEVETA is
usually communicated to our learners through QAA office.
When a learner fails to register with TEVETA, they are not recognized by the Authority and
therefore cannot even register to sit for examinations.
To be eligible to write any TEVTEA examinations, the learner must have been duly
registered by TEVETA and allocated a valid student number. This registration is usually
conducted at our college with students performing the following:
1. Collect examination form from the examinations office at NORTEC, apply for
examinations and pay examination fees not later than THREE (3) months from the
examination due date and then ensure that you take your completed form to the
head of your department.
2. Verify details when TEVETA examination registers are published a few weeks before
examinations commence
3. Verify your Continuous Assessment performance through the department
4. Collect examination timetable a few days before examinations commence
N.B: Students have to pay examination fees in full depending on the number of subjects
they wish to sit.
The amount of examination fees is determined by TEVETA and may vary from time to time.
2.5EXEMPTIONS
Students can collect exemption forms from the Examination Officer at NORTEC and start the
process.
When applying for exemptions, it is imperative that learners note the following:
15
NORTEC – ODFL STUDENTS MANUAL 2018
2.6 RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL
Every term our College holds a TWO/THREE - week residential school to train and assess the
learners. During each RS our ODFL team strives to maximally utilize the available time and
resources to effectively attend to the needs of the learners.
Attendance of the RS is compulsory to all students and those who miss the RS without
permission can be withdrawn from the course by Management.
When a learner feels unable to attend the RS, they must write to the Principal of the College
seeking permission to either withdraw from the course or proceed. Any learner who requests
to continue and pays fees will be provided with modules, assessments etc. by the College
while learners who withdraw from the course will have to resume their course next time
there is an equivalent class.
Our learners are entitled to learner support on and off the campus. It is College policy to
give academic, administrative and psychological support to learners.
Every student who is fully registered for each term is entitled to receive our College –
designed study materials or modules. The modules are expertly packaged to meet the
training needs of industry and to address syllabi learning outcomes.
16
NORTEC – ODFL STUDENTS MANUAL 2018
To enhance learner accessibility to College modules, instructional materials and other
College resources, our IT section is in the process of uploading them to the Moodle
platform- where our learners can access them online anywhere and anytime.
Learners who fail to accumulate continuous assessment mark of 50% risk being excluded
from the course
1. Submit assignments according to the dates given by the College. Any Assignment
submitted after the due dates will NOT be marked. The College accepts late
submission of assignments only on Medical and humanitarian reasons. Therefore you
must attach valid documentary proof as part of the assignment before any late
submission will be considered.
2. Ensure that the assignment conforms to the formal requirements set out by the
College (see appendix V).
N.B: Learners, whose assignments fail to comply with these requirements, might
lose marks.
3. If you use express post for mailing the assignments, you must pay the costs
attached to this service. The College will not pay penalties for assignments with
insufficient postage.
4. Students living in the vicinity of NORTEC and those who prefer to submit their
assignments personally must hand them in at the registry office.
17
NORTEC – ODFL STUDENTS MANUAL 2018
5. Copying assignments constitutes a transgression of the Student Regulations of
NORTEC and TEVETA. If found guilty of copying assignments, students will be
awarded 0% for such an assignment.
6. You must acknowledge by means of complete referencing, all sources used and/or
quoted in your assignments. Any students found guilty of plagiarism will be penalized
and may be awarded 0%.
7. A learner, who has strong reasons to believe that an assignment mark may be
incorrect, may apply that such mark be re-checked, regardless of the mark obtained.
An application for a re-check must be directed to the Principal of the college.
Applications must be accompanied by a full motivation explaining why a re-check is
sought. Such a re-check shall not necessarily lead to a re-mark of the assignment,
unless so determined by the college.
Our distance learners write the same examinations as students on conventional learning
modes
The final TEVETA examination accounts for 60%of the overall marks available in the
examination.
To pass an examination subject, the student must score at least 50% (when marks for
both continuous assessment and the final examination are aggregated). TEVETA grades
learners’ marks as follows:
Grading System
To successfully sit for any examinations each candidate is required fulfill the following
minimum requirements:
1. Register fully with the College and TEVETA
2. Have a student examination number given by TEVETA
3. Fully pay TEVETA examination and College fees
4. Verify the enrolment approximately six (6) weeks before commencement of
examinations
5. Amass a continuous assessment mark of at least 50%
6. Attend at least 80% of lectures
18
NORTEC – ODFL STUDENTS MANUAL 2018
Thus ODFL learners who feel concerned about the examination timetable, especially in the
period leading to the TEVETA examination should consult the Coordinator.
Learners themselves are responsible for ensuring that they attend the correct examination
session and receive the correct examination question paper.
Before permitting learners to enter the examination room, invigilators may demand learners
comply with the following rules:
1. Prove their identity
2. Produce student card or proof of registration
3. Produce Examination slip / pass
4. Switch off Cellular phones, scientific calculators or any electronic devices
