This question applies only when vocational training has been acquired. This is another two-part question and is the second of the four instances in which you are required to make two marks in the same row. The response area for the first part of the question is to the left of the bar or dividing line, and that for the second part to the right of the dividing line.
5.44 Question 23(a)
[Image omitted here]
Ask the question this way:
"How did you (he/she) receive this training?" (Question 22 refers). "Did you (he/she) attend an institution, receive training on the job, undertake private study or in some other way?"
On the Job - This applies when the individual received "On the Job" training only. On the Job training must, however, be structured training and not just learning by experience.
Private Study - This will include cases when the individual studied by means of correspondence courses or obtained coaching from private teachers to equip him for the vocation/profession.
Inst. Training - Mark this if the individual was prepared or is being prepared for his vocation/profession by means of training in a school, university, trade school, school of technology, hospital or some such other institution.
Other - This covers other types of methods of acquiring training.
Not Stated - Mark this in cases where the individual has not supplied the information. There will be no mark in this question if the individual is not being trained or had received training previously.
