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 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 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.

DEFINITION OF TERMS (HEAT TREATMENT)
1. Heat Treatment
A process in which metal in the solid state is subjected to one or more
temperature cycles to attain certain desired properties.
2. Annealing Heating to and holding above the critical range followed by controlled
slow-cooling in the furnace.
3. Quenching
Is a hardening process. It involves heating to a temperature within a
critical temperature range followed by quenching in a medium which
are liquid or air medium. Quenching is a distinct operation carried out
external to the furnace.
4. Thermal critical
range Metals have its own distinct chemical composition. The thermal critical
range depends on the chemical composition of the metal. Heating
above and below the critical temperature range changes in a solid
state constitution. While major constitutional change cannot occur
below the lower limits some changes in microstructure are do so.
5. Precipitation
hardening Hardening in metals caused by the precipitation of a constituent from a
metals supersaturated solid solution. This occurs after quenching of alloys
especially the maraging steel groups and stainless steels.
6. Differential
hardening Some techniques allow different areas of a single object to receive
different heat treatments. This is called differential hardening. It is
common in high quality knives and swords. The Chinese jian is one of
the earliest known examples of this, and the Japanese katana the
most widely known. The Nepalese Khukuri is another example.
7. Ferrous metals
The term "ferrous" is derived from the latin word meaning "containing
iron". This can include pure iron, such as wrought iron, or an alloy
such as steel. Ferrous metals are often magnetic, but not exclusively.
8. Alloy
An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements in solid solution in which
the major component is a metal. Combining different ratios of metals
as alloys modifies the properties of pure metals to produce desirable
characteristics. The aim of making alloys is generally to make them
less brittle, harder, resistant to corrosion, or have a more desirable
color and luster. Examples of alloys are steel (iron and carbon), brass
(copper and zinc), bronze (copper and tin), and duralumin (aluminium
and copper). Alloys specially designed for highly demanding
applications, such as jet engines, may contain more than ten
elements.
9. Metal
In chemistry, a metal (Greek: Metallo, Μέταλλο) is a chemical element
whose atoms readily lose electrons to form positive ions (cations), and
form metallic bonds between other metal atoms and ionic bonds
between nonmetal atoms.
