3.2 TRAINING DELIVERY

The delivery of training should adhere to the design of the
curriculum.
Delivery should be guided by the 10 basic principles of Competency-Based
TVET.

The training is based on curriculum developed from the competency standards;

Learning is modular in its structure;

Training delivery is individualized and self-paced;

Training is based on work that must be performed;

Training materials are directly related to the competency standards and curriculum
modules;

Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the performance of work to the

industry required standard;

Training is based both on and off-the job component;

Allows for the recognition of prior learning ( RPL ) or current competencies;

Training allows for multiple entry and exit ; and

Approved training programs are nationally accredited.

echanical drafting
11/20/07

37

The competency-based TVET system recognizes various types of delivery

modes, both on and off-thejob as long as the learning is driven by the
competency standards specified by the industry. The following training
modalities may be adopted when designing training programs:

The dualized mode of training delivery is preferred and recommended. Thus

programs would contain both in school and in-industry training of fieldwork
components. Details can be referred to the Dual Training System ( DTS )
Implementing Rules and Regulations

Modular / self-paced learning is a competency- based training modality wherein the

trainee is allowed to progress at his own pace. The trainer facilitates the training
delivery

Peer teaching / mentoring is training modality wherein fast learners are given the
opportunity to assist the slow learners.

Supervised industry training or on-the-hob training is an approach in training

designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of the trainee through actual
experience in the workplace to acquire specific competencies prescribed in the
training regulations.

Distance learning is formal education process in which majority of the instruction

occurs when the students and instructor are not in the same place. Distance learning
may employ correspondence study, or audio, video or computer technologies.

3.3 TRAINEE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

This section specifies the qualifications of trainees and educational
experience. Other requirements like health and physical requirements are
also stated. Passing entry written examinations may also be indicated if
necessary.
