2.1 TRAINING DELIVERY
1. The delivery of training shall adhere to the design of the curriculum.

Delivery shall be guided by the principles of competency-based TVET.
2.1 Course design is based on competency standards set by the

industry or recognized industry sector; (Learning system is driven
by competencies written to industry standards)
2.1 Training delivery is learner-centered and should accommodate

individualized and self-paced learning strategies;
2.1 Training can be done on an actual workplace setting, simulation of a

workplace and/or through adoption of modern technology.
2.1 Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the

performance of work to the industry required standards;
2.1 Assessment of competency takes the trainee’s knowledge and

attitude into account but requires evidence of actual performance of
the competency as the primary source of evidence.
2.1 Training program allows for recognition of prior learning (RPL) or

current competencies;
2.1 Training completion is based on satisfactory performance of all

specified competencies.
2. 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 and their variations/components may be adopted singly or in
combination with other modalities when designing and delivering training
programs:
2.1 School/Institution-Based
 Dual Training System (DTS) / Dualized Training Program

(DTP) which contain both in-school and in-industry training or
fieldwork components.
 Supervised Industry Training (SIT) or on-the-job training (OJT)

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 as prescribed in
the training regulations. It is imperative that the deployment of
trainees in the workplace is adhered to training programs and
agreed by the institution and enterprise and status and
progress of trainees are closely monitored by the training
institutions to prevent opportunity for work exploitation.

 Project-based instruction is an authentic instructional model or
strategy in which students plan, implement and evaluate
projects that have real world applications.
2.2 Enterprised-Based:
Enterprised-based training may also be taken to mean a

school or training center with one or more partner enterprise or
an enterprise or group of enterprises setting up a common
training facility or partnering with a school or training center.
 Enterprised-based training – where training is

implemented within the company in accordance with the
requirements of the specific company.
 Formal Apprenticeship – Training within employment

involving a contract between an apprentice and an enterprise
on an approved apprenticeable occupation.
 Informal Apprenticeship – is based on training (and

working) agreement between an apprentice and an
experienced chemical operator wherein the agreement may
be written or oral. The experienced chemical operator
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 chemical
technician.
