RTB eLearning

This module focuses on identifying, diagnosing, and managing animal parasites to promote animal health and productivity. It covers the major groups of parasites—helminths, arthropods, and protozoa—and their associated diseases.

1. Identification of Animal Parasites

Learners study the main classes of parasites:

• Helminths – including nematodes, cestodes, and trematodes, described by their structure, lifecycle, and mode of infection.

• Arthropods – such as insects, mites, and ticks, described by their morphology, development, and role as vectors.

• Protozoa – single-celled parasites classified based on movement (flagella, cilia, pseudopodia) and mode of reproduction.

2. Description of Common Parasitic Diseases

Students learn about major parasitic diseases:

• Helminthiasis – caused by parasitic worms like roundworms, tapeworms, and flukes.

• Arthropod-borne diseases – caused or transmitted by ticks, flies, lice, and mites (e.g., anaplasmosis, babesiosis).

• Protozoosis – caused by protozoan parasites such as Trypanosoma, Eimeria, and Babesia.

3. Diagnosis of Common Parasitic Diseases

The module trains students to:

• Conduct clinical examinations following proper procedures.

• Collect and handle samples (blood, feces, skin scrapings, etc.) according to protocols.

• Examine samples using laboratory techniques (microscopy, flotation, staining).

• Interpret results accurately based on clinical signs and lab findings.

4. Treatment and Control of Parasitic Diseases

Learners gain practical skills in:

• Applying effective treatments specific to helminths, arthropods, and protozoa.

• Monitoring animal health during and after treatment.

• Implementing biosecurity and preventive measures such as sanitation, vector control, vaccination, and isolation to reduce disease spread.

This module introduces the principles, processes, and practical techniques involved in producing mechanical parts using CNC machines.

This course, Parts Production on CNC Machine will equips the learners with knowledge and practical skills to produce precision parts using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines. It covers CNC principles, machine components, and setup procedures such as tool selection, fixture installation, and workpiece alignment. Learners will develop and verify CNC programs using G-code, M-code, and CAD/CAM software. Emphasis is placed on cutting parameters, milling, turning, drilling operations and safe working practices to ensure efficient and accurate part production

This course provides students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to install, maintain, and troubleshoot industrial machines used in manufacturing and production environments. Learners will gain competence in reading and interpreting machine installation drawings, aligning and assembling mechanical components, connecting electrical systems, and applying appropriate maintenance procedures to ensure optimal machine performance.
The course emphasizes adherence to safety standards, preventive maintenance practices, and the use of correct tools and instruments. Students will also develop problem-solving skills for diagnosing faults and performing corrective actions to minimize downtime and extend the lifespan of industrial equipment.

This module describes the knowledge, skills, and attitude to be acquired in order to place well tiles on the walls, stairs and floors. It is intended to be pursued by learner at TVET level IV Building Construction. At the end of this module, the learner will be able to prepare working area, select materials, tools and equipment. He/She will also be able to cut, apply tiles, and perform grouting and cleaning of the workplace.

This preliminary/fundamental module describes knowledge, skills and attitude required in application of making quick drawing/sketch through a keen observative process and proper use of art elements and principles.

This module covers the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to prevent diseases for the following species: cow, sheep, goat, pig, poultry, rabbit, dog and cat. The workplace in which this competence may be applied range from veterinary clinics, animal housings/shelters, farms, customs services to slaughterhouses. It’s a prerequisite for all the specific modules of the qualification involving the manipulation and treatment of the different species mentioned above. Upon completion of this module, the trainee will be able to: Monitor physical conditions of animal housing; Restrain animals for veterinary intervention; Perform animal general examination; Use antiparasitic drugs for disease prevention.

Punching operation is a type of press working process used in manufacturing where a tool (punch) is forced through sheet metal to remove a slug of material, creating a hole.

🔹 Purpose:

To create holes or cut-outs in sheet metal using a punch and die setup.

🔹 Basic Principle:

• A punch presses the sheet metal against a die.
• The punch shears the material and removes a portion (called a slug).
• The remaining material has a clean hole or profile.

🔹 Key Components:

• Punch – the tool that moves downward to cut the material.
• Die – supports the material and defines the shape of the hole.
• Sheet metal – the workpiece.

🔹 Types of Punching Operations:

• Blanking – the cut-out piece is the desired part.
• Piercing – the hole is the desired feature.
• Nibbling – series of small punches to make complex shapes.
• Perforating – punching multiple holes.

🔹 Applications:

• Automotive panels
• Electronic enclosures
• Metal brackets
• Kitchen appliances

🔹 Advantages:

• Fast and efficient
• High repeatability
• Cost-effective for large volumes
