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 in the same place.
Distance learning may employ correspondence study, audio, video or computer
technologies.
• Project-based instruction is an authentic instructional model strategy in which
students plan, implement and evaluate projects that have real world applications.
