ASSESSMENT AND CERTIFICATION ARRANGEMENTS

To attain the National Qualification of Agricultural Crops Production NC II, the candidate must
demonstrate competence in all the units listed in Section 1. Successful candidates shall be
awarded a National Certificate signed by the TESDA Director General.

1. Accumulation of Certificates of Competency (COCs) in the following areas:

1.1. Perform nursery operations
1.2. Plant crops
1.3. Care and maintain crops
1.4. Carry-out harvest and postharvest operations

Successful candidates shall be awarded Certificates of Competency (COCs) bearing the signature
of the Regional Director and Chair of the recognized local industry body.

2. Demonstration of competence through project-type assessment covering all required units of

the qualification.

Assessment shall focus on the core units of competency. The basic and common units shall be
integrated or assessed concurrently with the core units.

The following are qualified to apply for assessment and certification:

3. Graduates of formal, non-formal and informal including enterprise-based training programs
4. Experienced Workers (wage employed or self-employed)
5. The guidelines on assessment and certification are discussed in detail in the Procedures Manual
on Assessment and Certification and Guidelines on the Implementation of the Philippine TVET
Qualification and Certification System (PTQCS).
Course Delivery: Combination of Distance Learning and Face-to- Face

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 learner-centered and should accommodate individualized and self-paced
learning strategies;
 Training is based on work that must be performed;
 Training materials are directly related to the competency standards and the curriculum
modules;
 Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the performance of work to the industry
required standard;
 Training program allows for recognition of prior learning (RPL) or current competencies;
 Training allows for multiple entry and exit; and
 Training programs are registered with UTPRAS.

The competency-based TVET system recognizes various types of delivery modes, both on and
off-the-job 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 or 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 a training modality wherein fast learners are given the opportunity
to assist the slow learners.
 Supervised industry training or on-the-job 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.
