Interviewer instructions
109b. <span class="em">Column A16-A26: </span>These questions apply only to persons aged 12 years and more. If the person is under 12 years of age, then when you reach column A16 you should put dashes in the shaded areas for columns A16 -- A32 and proceed to the next listed person in the household.</p>
<p>109e. <span class="em">Column A18: Subject of training</span></p>
<p><span class="em">Q: What was [the person's] training course?</span></p>
<p>Write down the subject of training course the person did, i.e. write nursing if the person is doing or did nursing during the time of the training course was nursing at the institution of training, auto electrician if the person was or is being trained as an electrician of cars and not houses electrician, medicine for human beings and vet for animal doctor. Training course should not be confused with occupation as occupation is what the person did or worked as. Driving should only be regarded as a course if it is used for employment as a major way of survival.</p>
<p><span class="ital">Example: The questionnaire section below covers Language, education, training, and religion. Maungo is coded 01 in A13 and 10 in A19 to show that she speaks Setswana and she is a Christian. This is the same for the rest of the household members. The education section of Maungo is coded 3 in A14 to show that she has left school and 17 in A15 to show that she completed primary school standard seven. Itumeleng is still at school hence coded code 2 in A14 and that she is currently doing standard 3 by being coded 12 showing that primary second level is the highest level completed.<br /><br />It must be noted that training part only applies to those people aged 12 years and over, therefore Itumeleng, Balisa and Mbigi are no longer going to be asked any questions from this point until the end. To show that they are not eligible for the rest of the questions, dashes (-) are used so that one will know that they have not been skipped by mistake. In A16 Maungo and Mmantsheledi have all never had any training as such coded 1. The skip instruction for code 1 is to skip A17 and A18 to A19. Dashes are once more used to show that these people have been excluded from A 17 and A18. However still in A16, Mothusi did a training, which was more than 3 months long; as a result she is coded 3, making her eligible for A17 and A18. The training Mothusi did was a three-year certificate in dress making at the Vocational Training Centre, hence she is coded code 33 in A17 and Dress Making is written on the unshaded area of A18 as that is what the course was about. Initially the respondent had said that Mothusi did a course in designing, but since designing could be in house plans, house decoration, clothing and many more, the enumerator had to probe in order to establish that the course was designing clothes.</span>
