Message from the Director

Welcome to the National Skill Testing Board (NSTB), the premier statutory body responsible for overseeing the skill testing and certification framework in Nepal. Established in 1983, NSTB has a proud legacy of evaluating and certifying vocational competencies developed through formal, informal, and non-formal sectors. Our core mandate is to cultivate a world-class skilled workforce, facilitating their professional recognition and mobility in international labor markets.
Driven by a robust bilateral initiative between the Government of Nepal and the Government of Switzerland, the National Vocational Qualifications System (NVQS) is being systematically established. This initiative was significantly bolstered on May 3, 2020, when the Council of Ministers approved the National Vocational Qualifications Framework (NVQF) as a foundational component of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). With the NVQS implementation roadmap now finalized and underway, NSTB is officially transitioning into the National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) awarding authority.
The realization of a globally aligned NVQS requires the collective expertise and dedication of all our stakeholders. We strongly encourage their active cooperation and support in this vital national endeavor. By fostering a collaborative environment rooted in commitment and creative problem-solving, we can achieve exceptional outcomes. Your valuable feedback, constructive comments, and strategic suggestions are always highly appreciated and integral to our continuous improvement.
Thank you.
