3.20 Training Delivery - The delivery of training should adhere to the

design of the curriculum.

3.21 Basic Principles of Competency – Based TVET- Delivery shall

be guided by the 10 basic principles of competency-based
TVET:

(1) The training is based on curriculum developed from the

competency standards;

(2) Learning is modular in its structure;

(3) Training delivery is learner-centered and should

accommodate individualized and self-paced learning
strategies;

(4) Training is based on work that must be performed;

(5) Training materials are directly related to the competency

standards and the curriculum modules;

(6) Assessment is based on the collection of evidence of the

performance of work to the industry required standard;

(7) Training is based both on and off-the-job components;

(8) Training program allows for recognition of prior learning

(RPL) or current competencies;

(9) Training allows for multiple entry and exit; and

(10) Training programs are registered with the UTPRAS.

TR – EIM NC III - 77 -
3.22 Training Modalities Programs -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:
(1) 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 he Dual Training system (DTS)
Implementing Rules and Regulations.

(2) Modular/self-paced 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.

(3) Peer teaching/mentoring is a training modality wherein fast

learners are given the opportunity to assist the slow learners.

(4) 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.
(5) 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.
(6) Project-based instruction is an authentic instructional model
or strategy in which students plan, implement and evaluate
projects that have real world applications.

3.30 Trainee Entry Requirements - To qualify as trainee for Electrical

Installation & Maintenance NC III, a candidate must be:

(1) a holder of Electrical Installation & Maintenance NC II or

equivalent experience and training
(2) can communicate both orally and in writing
(3) physically and mentally fit
(4) with good moral character
(5) 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 delivering the TVET program.
