TRAINING DELIVERY
243
2441. The delivery of training shall adhere to the design of the curriculum and guided by the
245
principles of competency-based TVET.
246
247
a. Course design is based on competency standards set by the industry or
248
recognized industry sector; (Learning system is driven by competencies
249
written to industry standards)
250
251
b. Training delivery is learner-centered and should accommodate individualized
252
and self-paced learning strategies;
253
254
c. Training can be done on an actual workplace setting, simulation of a
255
workplace and/or through adoption of modern technology.
256
257
d. Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the performance of
258
work to the industry required standards;
259
260
e. Assessment of competency takes the trainees knowledge and attitude into
261
account but requires evidence of actual performance of the competency as
262
the primary source of evidence.
263
264
f. Training program allows for recognition of prior learning (RPL) or current
265
competencies;
266
267
g. Training completion is based on satisfactory performance of all specified
268
competencies.
269
270
2. The competency-based TVET system recognizes various types of delivery
271
modes, both on-and off-the-job as long as learning is guided by the competency
272
standards specified by the industry. The following training modalities and its
273
variations/components may be adopted singly or in combination with other
274
modalities when designing and delivering training programs:
275
276
2.1 Institution- Based:
277
278
Dual Training System (DTS)/Dualized Training Program (DTP) which
279
contain both in-school and in-industry training or fieldwork
280
components. Details can be referred to the Implementing Rules and
281
Regulations of the DTS Law and the TESDA Guidelines on the DTP;
282
283
Distance learning is a formal education process in which majority of

284
the instruction occurs when the students and instructor are not in the
285
same place. Distance learning may employ correspondence study,
286
audio, video, computer technologies or other modern technology
24173
PROMULGATED
October 2014
243
244
that can be used to facilitate learning and formal and non-formal

training. Specific guidelines on this mode shall be issued by the
TESDA Secretariat.

2.2
The traditional classroom-based or in-center instruction may be

enhanced through use of learner-centered methods as well as
laboratory or field-work components.
Enterprise-Based:
Formal Apprenticeship Training within employment involving a

contract between an apprentice and an enterprise on an approved
apprenticeable occupation.
Informal Apprenticeship - is based on a training (and working)

agreement between an apprentice and a master craftsperson wherein
the agreement may be written or oral and the master craftsperson
commits to training the apprentice in all the skills relevant to his or her
trade over a significant period of time, usually between one and four
years, while the apprentice commits to contributing productively to the
work of the business. Training is integrated into the production
process and apprentices learn by working alongside the experienced
craftsperson.
Enterprise-based Training- where training is implemented within the

company in accordance with the requirements of the specific
company. Specific guidelines on this mode shall be issued by the
TESDA Secretariat.
2.3 Community-Based Community-Based short term programs conducted

by non-government organizations (NGOs), LGUs, training centers and
other TVET providers which are intended to address the specific needs of
a community. Such programs can be conducted in informal settings such
as barangay hall, basketball courts, etc. These programs can also be
mobile training program (MTP).
