TRAINING DELIVERY
The delivery of training should adhere to the design of the curriculum.
Delivery should be guided by the 10 basic principles of the 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
only 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 a 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 instructors are not in the same
place. Distance learning may employ correspondence study, or audio,
video or computer technologies.
