After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. define Competency-Based Training;
2. enumerate and explain the ten principles of CBT;
Competency-Based Training
• It is a training delivery approach that focuses on the competency development of
the learner as a result of the training;
• Emphasizes most on what the learner can actually do;
• Focuses on outcomes rather than the learning process within specified time;
• It is concerned with the attainment and application of knowledge, skills and
attitude to a specific level of competency.
In CBT, the education and training system should begin and end with the
customer needs.

Competency
Competency involves applying knowledge, skills and attitudes to perform work
activities to the standard expected in the workplace.
Competencies are gained through:
• life experience
• formal education
• apprenticeship
• on-the-job experience
• self-help programs
• training and development programs
Dimensions of competency
TASK
DIMENSIONS OF COMPETENCY
• Captures the skills used as people plan and integrate a number of potentially
different tasks to achieve a complete work outcome.
• Trainees should be provided with learning activities that develop skills to be able
work efficiently to meet deadlines, handle a sequence of interrelated tasks and
progress smoothly between tasks.

Generally one competency is one module but some competencies maybe divided
into training modules. A qualification is composed of a set of competencies a worker
should have. When planning your training, your trainees should learn one competency
after another until they attain all competencies of the qualification.

As trainers, you should provide activities that will allow each trainee to advance
on his own without waiting for the other trainees in his class to finish. Facilities,
resources and materials should also be structured so that trainees could learn
competencies at their own pace.
5) Training materials are directly related to the competency standards and the
curriculum.
CS CBC LMs
Competency Standards are updated specifications of the qualification.
Oftentimes, learning materials that are directly related to these standards are not
available in bookstores. You should put your resources together to produce learning
materials and learning activities appropriate to attain the performance criteria in the
CS.
The Competency-Based Curriculum will be your guide to plan for both training and
assessment of your trainees. Your learning materials should be developed to attain the
assessment criteria in the CBC.
Traditional CBTVET
Students are judged
Each Student is assessed
against each other (norm
against the evidences
referenced Assessment) based on standard
7) Training is based on and off the job components and off the job components.
Better learning with industry and
school partnership
9) The system allows for learner to enter and exit programs at different times and
levels and to receive an award for competencies attained at any point.
Any program offered in TVET should be registered with the Unified TVET Program
Registration and Accreditation System (UTPRAS). This covers the following:
1. Program Registration is a compulsory compliance with minimum requirement
prescribed in the Training Regulations(TRs) and anchored on competency-based
system. Program registration prescribes full compliance with prevailing training
standards, correction of sub-standard ones and denial of registration of registration
for those who fail to comply. An integral part of program registration is the
monitoring of registered programs for continuous compliance to standards.
2. Program Accreditation is a voluntary process of demonstrating quality
assurance to programs and institutional processes that shall lead to the
recognition and conferment of awards various levels of exemplary
performance.
Compliance to UTPRAS would include training approaches, curriculum, learning
materials, facilities, resources and other training materials. You should therefore learn
how to plan and implement Competency-Based Training to comply with UTPRAS.
This training on Trainers Methodology is one of the requirements of UTPRAS.

Learning Objectives:
In the previous Information Sheet you were introduced to the Competency Based
Training (CBT). The Training Regulations plays a big role in TVET training. It is the
basis in the formulation of competency assessment and the development of curriculum
and instructional materials for CBT.
In this lesson you will have a tour of the different parts of the TR in relation to
Competency Based Training delivery.
The mandate
Technical Education and Skills Development Act of 1994
(Republic Act No. 7796)
Section 22, “Establishment and Administration of the National Trade Skills
Standards” of the RA 7796 known as the TESDA Act mandates TESDA to establish
national occupational skill standards. The Authority shall develop and implement
a certification and
accreditation program in which private industry group and trade association are
accredited to conduct approved trade tests, and the local government units to
promote such trade testing activities in their respective areas in accordance with
the guidelines to be set by the Authority
Training Regulations
The Training Regulation (TR) is the document that serves as a basis in the
formulation of competency assessment and the development of curriculum and
instructional materials for competency-based technical education and skills development
(TESD). The training Regulations consist of two components: the occupational skills
standard and the training standards.
The Training Regulations serve as basis for the:
1. Competency assessment and certification;
2. Registration and delivery of training programs; and

Learning Objective: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to
determine the different characteristics of
trainees.
One of the most important data that you must have when planning training
sessions is the characteristics of your trainees. In CBT, we consider individual
differences in training because CBT is self-paced. The design of training and
instructional materials should therefore suit characteristics of each trainee.
This lesson will discuss the different characteristics that you should know about
your learner so that you will be able to plan training for each of them.
CHARACTERISTICS OF LEARNERS
One important part of planning a training session is to analyze trainees so that
the training suits their:
1. ability level
2. learning styles & preferences
3. motivations and
4. interests because they are the bases in choosing the methodologies to be used by
the trainer.
It is important to note that:
a. One of the key features of competency-based training is that, it is customized and
personalized. This is difficult to achieve if trainers are not aware of, either, the
differences among trainees, or, how they may be able to work with these trainees
to address their specific needs to allow them to demonstrate competence.
b. While the issues are diverse, the solutions are frequently applicable across
different topics.
c. Not all issues for trainers are issues for trainees.
d. By altering some simple components of training, issues can be resolved; e.g.
language issues - having assessment in the local language rather than in
English.

The visual learner will often lose focus during long oral lectures, especially if these are not
accompanied by drawings and illustrations. The visual learner takes mental pictures of
information given, so in order for this kind of learner to retain information, oral or written,

visual learner can't concentrate with a lot of activity around him and will focus better
and learn faster in a quiet study environment.
For the auditory learner to get the most out of classes it can be helpful to:
1. Record lectures
2. Use word associations
3. Listen to audiotapes
4. Read notes aloud
5. Sit in the front of the class where the teacher can easily be seen and heard.
6. Study and discuss subjects with other students

to help determine trainees’ characteristics. Let trainees answer these questions
before answering the data gathering instrument for determining trainees’
characteristics.

theory and practice. They learn by testing theories and applying common sense. They
are pragmatists, they believe if something works, use it. They are down-to-earth
problem solvers who resent being given answers.
They do not stand on ceremony but get right to the point. They have a limited tolerance for
fuzzy ideas. They value strategic thinking. They are skills-oriented. They experiment and
tinker with things. They need to know how things work. They edit reality, cut right to the
heart of things. Sometimes they seem bossy and impersonal.
Their philosophy is: “There is always a better way.” “If it works, it’s good.”
