3.2 TRAINING DELIVERY


The delivery of training should follow 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 on 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 inindustry 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/her 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 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.
