No 1 of 1994 as revised on 2006 for the purpose of coordinating, regulating, financing, and providing vocational education and training and has offices in nine (9) zones. VETA zonal offices were established in order to coordinate the VET centres in each region, the offices coordinate the exercise of establishing of the new VET centres, registration VTCs, accreditation of VET programmes, coordinate the availability of approved curricula, quality auditing of VET centres, assessment and certification. 2.0. VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING CENTRES IN THE COUNTRY Following the registration exercise carried out in 2009 statistics indicated that more than 400 VTCs were registered in different categories, as of that time. The registration exercise is still going on, based on new directives issued by the national VET Board in 2009. At present there are more than 250 VTCs under scrutiny in the zones pending registration. 3.0. JOINING VETA OWNED CENTRES 3.1.
