    3. Emphasize your pedagogy training: If you have a Certificate in Pedagogy or PGD in Education, make it prominent. This is a key requirement, so show how it has shaped your teaching approach.

    4. Show your registration status: Clearly state your TVETA registration number and any other relevant professional certifications. This is a must-have, so make it easy to find.

    5. Demonstrate your assessment skills: Talk about your experience with continuous assessments, internal exams, and exam validation. Mention any familiarity with ERP systems for grade entry.
