Competency-Based Training
• Is a training delivery mode where trainees are
given opportunities to learn in their own pace
with the trainer as an integral part of the
instruction.
10 Principles of Competency
Based Training
1. Training is based on curriculum developed
from the competency standards.
Training are done towards the attainment of
the assessment criteria set in the CBC.
2. Learning is modular in its structure.
CBLM are prepared per competency which
shall serve as the main material and guide in
training. Information in the attainment of
knowledge and skills are provided in the
CBLM.
3. Training delivery is learner-centered and
should accommodate individualized and self-
paced learning strategies.
Trainers are treated as individual learners with
different characteristics, learning style and
training needs.
4. Training is based on work that must be
performed.
Training is always based on the actual industry
practices. Training should provide for a
simulated work environment.
5. Training materials are directly related to the
competency standards and the curriculum
modules.
The CBLM is used during the training should
conform to the CBC and CS. The trainer should
always check his session plans and CBLMs to
make sure that all assessment criteria are
attained.
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 standard.
7. Training is based both on and off the job
components.
Training is done in a simulated work
environment, the laboratory or in an actual
work environment. For example industry
training and on the job training.
8. Training program allows for Recognition of Prior
Learning (RPL) or current competencies.
Current competencies acquired through training or
work experience are recognized before training
through validation process so that the trainer can
provide activities that match the learning level of
each trainee.
9. Training allows for multiple entry and exit.
Trainees 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. Approved training programs are nationally
accredited.
All programs should be registered to the
unified TVET Program Registration and
Accreditation System, UTPRAS registration
assures the quality of training

Role of Trainer
• Serves as a team member to determine what
is learned.
• Motivates trainees
• Manages learning: consultation rather then

• Evaluates students achievement
Role of Trainee
• Trainees select what they want to learn and
when they want to learn it.
• Learn at their own rate within program
guidelines. They may speed up, slow down,
stop or even repeat a task.
• May request to receive credit for what they
already know. This is done through pre-testing
/ through a review or a task list completed at
another site.
• Trainees may choose how they want to learn
individually, on a 0ne-to-one basis, in a small
group, in large groups or with audio visuals.
