 HOW TO USE THIS COMPETENCY-BASED LEARNING MATERIAL

Welcome to the module- Raising Organic Chicken. This module

contains training materials and activities for you to complete.

The unit of competency “Raise Organic Chicken" contains the

knowledge, skills and attitudes required for Organic Agriculture
Production NC II course. It is one of the specialized modules at National
Certificate II (NC II) level.

You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order

there are Information Sheets and Resource Sheets (Reference Materials
for further reading to help you better understand the required activities).
Follow these activities on your own and answer the self-check at the end of
each learning outcome. You may remove a blank answer sheet at the end
of each module (or get one from your facilitator/trainer for assistance.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

You may already have some or most of the knowledge and skills covered
in this module because you have:

⮚ been working for someone

⮚ already completed training in this area

If you can demonstrate to your trainer that you are competent in a

particular skill or skills, talk to him/her about having them formally
recognized so you don’t have to do the same training again. If you have
qualifications or Certificates of Competency from previous trainings, show
them to your trainer. If the skills you acquired are still current and relevant
to the unit/s of competency they may become part of the evidence you can
present for RPL. If you are not sure about the currency of your skills,
discuss this with your trainer.

This module was prepared to help you achieve the required competency,
in Organic Agriculture Production NC II. This will be the source of
information for you to acquire knowledge and skills in this particular trade
independently and at your own pace, with minimum supervision or help
from your instructor.
