Competency Based Training emphasizes on what the learner can

actually do; focuses on outcomes rather than the learning process within
specified time; is concerned with the attainment and application of
knowledge, skills and attitude to a specific level of competency.
CBT is based on the following basic principles:
1. The training is based on curriculum developed from the
competency standards;
I should be aware that all training activities are done
towards the attainment of the assessment criteria set in the competency
based curriculum.
2. Learning is modular in its structure;
One competency is generally considered as one module. Since learning
is modular in instruction, a trainee should be competent in the module
currently being trained before going to the other competency.
3. Training delivery is learner-centered and should accommodate
individualized and self-paced learning strategies;
You are treated as individual learners with different
characteristics, learning styles and training needs. The trainee is allowed to work
independently or in a small group.
4. Training is based on work that must be performed;
Training is always based on actual industry practices. Training should
provide for a simulated work environment.
5. Training materials are directly related to the competency
standards and curriculum modules;
The Competency Based Learning Materials used during the training
should conform to the competency based curriculum and the competency
standards.
6. Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the
performance of work to the industry required standard;
Assessment is done to test whether the trainee is able to perform the
job based on the required criteria in the competency standards.
7. Training is based both on and off the job components;
Training is done in a simulated work environment (the laboratory)
and/or in an actual work environment.
8. Training program allows for recognition of prior learning(RPL)
or current competencies;
Your current competencies acquired through training or work experience
are recognized before training through a validation process.
9. Training allows for multiple entry and exit;

You do not need to wait for others to be competent before he can


exit either a competency or the qualification. Fast learners may graduate
faster than others.
10. Training programs are registered with the UTPRAS.
All programs should be registered to the Unified TVET Program
Registration and Accreditation System. UTPRAS registratrion assures the
quality of training.
