problems, including new, unusual and improbable
situations that may have happened.

2. Resource Implications 2.1. Assessment will require access to an operating plant over
an extended period of time, or a suitable method of
gathering evidence of operating ability over a range of
situations. A bank of scenarios / case studies / what ifs
will be required as well as bank of questions which will
be used to probe the reason behind the observable action.

be guided by the principles of competency-based TVET.

a. 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)

b. Training delivery is learner-centered and should accommodate individualized and


self-paced learning strategies;

c. Training can be done on an actual workplace setting, simulation of a workplace


and/or through adoption of modern technology.

d. Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the performance of work to


the industry required standards;

e. 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.

f. Training program allows for recognition of prior learning (RPL) or current


competencies;

g. 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. Institution- Based:

 The traditional classroom-based or in-center instruction may be enhanced


through use of learner-centered methods as well as laboratory or field-work
components.
