1. COURSEOVERVIEW
The Craft Instructor Training Scheme is operational since inception of the Craftsmen
Training Scheme. The first Craft Instructor Training Institute was established in 1948.
Subsequently, 6 more institutes namely, Central Training Institute for Instructors (now called as
National Skill Training Institute (NSTI)), NSTI at Ludhiana, Kanpur, Howrah, Mumbai, Chennai
and Hyderabad were established in 1960’s by DGT. Since then the CITS course is successfully
running in all the NSTIs across India as well as in DGT affiliated institutes viz. Institutes for
Training of Trainers (IToT). This is a competency based course for instructors of one year
duration. “Mechanic (Diesel)” CITS trade is applicable for Instructors of “Mechanic (Diesel)” CTS
Trade.
This course also enables the instructors to develop instructional skills for mentoring the
trainees, engaging all trainees in learning process and managing effective utilization of
resources. It emphasizes on the importance of collaborative learning & innovative ways of
doing things. All trainees will be able to understand and interpret the course content in right
perspective, so that they are engaged in & empowered by their learning experiences and above
all, ensure quality delivery.

2. TRAINING SYSTEM
2.1 GENERAL
CITS courses are delivered in National Skill Training Institutes (NSTIs) & DGT affiliated
institutes viz., Institutes for Training of Trainers (IToT). For detailed guidelines regarding
admission on CITS, instructions issued by DGT from time to time are to be observed. Further
complete admission details are made available on NIMI web portal
http://www.nimionlineadmission.in. The course is of one-year duration. It consists of Trade
Technology (Professional skills and Professional knowledge), Training Methodology and
Engineering Technology/ Soft skills. After successful completion of the training programme, the
trainees appear in All India Trade Test for Craft Instructor. The successful trainee is awarded
NCIC certificate by DGT.
Table below depicts the distribution of training hours across various course elements
during a period of one year:
1. Trade Technology
Professional Skill (Trade Practical) 640
Professional Knowledge (Trade Theory) 240
2. Engineering Technology

The CITS trainee will be assessed for his/her Instructional skills, knowledge and attitude
towards learning throughout the course span and also at the end of the training program.
a) The Continuous Assessment (Internal) during the period of training will be done by
Formative Assessment Method to test competency of instructor with respect to assessment

criteria set against each learning outcomes. The training institute has to maintain an individual
trainee portfolio in line with assessment guidelines. The marks of internal assessment will be as
per the formative assessment template provided on www.bharatskills.gov.in.
b) The Final Assessment will be in the form of Summative Assessment Method. The All India
Trade Test for awarding National Craft Instructor Certificate will be conducted by DGT at the
end of the year as per the guidelines of DGT. The learning outcome and assessment criteria will
be the basis for setting question papers for final assessment. The external examiner during final
examination will also check the individual trainee’s profile as detailed in assessment guideline
before giving marks for practical examination.

4. JOB ROLE
Mechanic Diesel; can learn about diesel engine fundamentals and power generation. The
trainees have to participate in hands-on work and begin repairing diesel engine vehicles.
Mechanic, Diesel Engine; Oil Engine, Fitter repairs services and overhauls diesel or oil engines
for efficient performance as prime mover to drive machinery and equipment. Examine engine
to locate defects, using various tools and instruments. Dismantles or partly dismantles it to
remove damaged or worn out parts and replaces or repairs them.
Grinds valve and assembles parts, doing supplementary tooling and other functions as
necessary to ensure accuracy of fit. Installs assembled or repaired engine in position and
connects pulley or wheel to propulsion system. Starts engine, tunes it up and observes
performance noting different meter readings such as temperature, fuel level, oil pressure, etc.
and sets it to specified standard for optimum performance. Checks, adjusts and lubricates
engine periodically and performs such other functions to keep engine in good working order.
May solder or braze parts and service diesel fuel pumps and injectors.
Additionally, since diesel engines are starting to incorporate electronic components, programs
usually give students a chance to take courses in electrical systems and computer diagnostic
software.
