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 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 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 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

_____________________________________________________________________
TR- Marine Electricity NC II

Promulgated September 2008

96

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 in the same place. Distance learning may
employ correspondence study, or audio, video or computer
technologies.

Project-Based Instruction is an authentic instructional model or

strategy in which students plan, implement and evaluate
projects that have real world applications.

3.3 TRAINEE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

This section specifies the qualifications of trainees and educational
experience. Other requirements like relevant training/experience and health and
physical requirements may also be required by the training provider. Passing entry
written examinations may also be indicated if necessary.
