Ten (10) Principles of CBT

1) The training is based on curriculum developed from the

competency standards.

Learning----------- is based on the Competency-based Curriculum

 Ira

The Competency Standard (CS) is the written specification of the

knowledge, skills and attitudes and values required for the performance of a
job, occupation or trade and the corresponding standard of performance
required for these in the workplace.
The industry workers identify these standards and are promulgated by
the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority in the Training
Regulations (TR).
The Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) is derived from the
Competency Standards. It is a plan for structured series of learning
experiences toward achieving of competencies identified by the industry; it
details training methodologies, resources, facilities, infrastructure and other
materials required both for training and assessment strategies.

2) Learning is competency-based or modular in structure.

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.
 3) Training delivery is individualized and self-paced.

',earning is uone oy tne learner at own pace

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.

4) Training is based on work that must be performed.

Learning is based on the actual industry practice

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.

The CBC will be further discussed in the succeeding information sheet.

work performance based on industry or organizational required

7) Training is based on and off the job components and off the job
components.

Better learning with industry and school partnership

8) The system allows Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

Workers and Students can have prior skills recognized

CBT focuses on the competencies that are not yet acquired by the
trainee in any learning situation. Competencies acquired as a result of
previous training, employment and life experiences should be recognized so
that trainees will not waste time doing the learning activities of the
competencies that they already have. It is one of your task to identify these
prior learning of your trainees and plan for the training of each trainee based
on this data.

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.

There is flexibility for entry and exit from programs

10) Approved training programs are nationally accredited.

Training programs are registered within UTPRAS

 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.
