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 the 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 components;
 Allows for recognition of prior learning (RPL) or current competencies;
 Training allows for multiple entry and exit; and
 Approved training programs are Nationally Accredited
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 just 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.
 Distance learning is a formal education process in which majority

of the instruction occurs when the students and instructor are not
62
in the same place. Distance learning may employ correspondence
study, audio, video or computer technologies.
63
3.3 TRAINEE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Trainees or students wishing to gain entry into this course should

possess the following requirements:
 can communicate both oral and written

 physically and mentally fit
 with good moral character
 can perform basic mathematical computation
This list does not include specific institutional requirements such

as educational attainment, appropriate work experience, and others that
may be required of the trainees by the school or training center
