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 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
2007
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

2007
instructor are not in the same place. Distance learning
may employ correspondence study, or audio, video or
computer technologies.
3.3 TRAINEE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
This section specifies the qualifications of trainees and

educational experience. Other requirements like health and physical
requirements may also be stated. Passing written entrance
examinations may also be indicated if necessary.
 Can communicate both orally and in writing
 Physically and mentally fit
 With good moral character
 Can perform basic mathematical computations.

NOTE: Implementation of the training program can be made possible through a MOA
between the training school and industry. It is so because of the high cost of
equipment that the school can’t afford to attain.

3.5 TRAINING FACILITIES

2007
The wheel loader operation workshop must be made of reinforced
concrete or steel structure. The size must be suited on the
