3.2 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.
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:
Classroom-based or school-based training conducted entirely within the school

or center, with classroom and/or laboratory components.
 Dual Training System (DTS)/Dualized Training Program (DTP) which

contain both in-school and in-industry training or fieldwork components.
Details can be referred to the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the
DTS Law and the TESDA Guidelines on the DTP;
 Distance learning is a formal education process in which majority of the

instruction occurs when the students and instructor are not in the same
place. Distance learning may employ correspondence study, audio, video,
computer technologies or other modern technology that can be used to
facilitate learning and formal and non-formal training. Specific guidelines on
this mode shall be issued by the TESDA Secretariat.
TR- Bamboo Production NC II December 18, 2017 84

 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
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.
 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.
2.2 Enterprise-Based:
 Formal Apprenticeship – Training within employment involving a contract

between an apprentice and an enterprise on an approved apprenticeable
occupation.
 Informal Apprenticeship - is based on a training (and working) agreement

between an apprentice and a master craftsperson wherein the agreement
may be written or oral and the master craftsperson 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 craftsperson.
 Enterprise-based Training- where training is implemented within the

company in accordance with the requirements of the specific company.
Specific guidelines on this mode shall be issued by the TESDA Secretariat.
2.3 Community-Based
Refers to a short program conducted or coordinated by NGOs, LGUs,

training centers and other TVET providers which are intended to address the
specific needs of a community. Such programs are usually conducted in informal
settings such as barangay hall, basketball courts and other available venues in a
community.

Trainers who will deliver the training on BAMBOO PRODUCTION NC II should possess
the following qualifications:
 Holder of NTTC (NC + TM1) in Bamboo Production NC II

 With 2-year industry experience with in the last 5 years

3.7 INSTITUTIONAL ASSESSMENT
Institutional Assessment is undertaken by trainees to determine their achievement of

units of competency. A certificate of achievement is issued for each unit of competency.
The result of the institutional assessment may be considered as evidence for the
assessment for national certification.
As a matter of policy, graduates of programs registered with TESDA under these

training regulations are required to undergo mandatory national competency assessment
upon completion of the program.

SECTION 4 ASSESSMENT AND CERTIFICATION ARRANGEMENT
Competency Assessment is the process of collecting evidence and making judgments

whether competency has been achieved. The purpose of assessment is to confirm that an
individual can perform to the standards expected at the workplace as expressed in relevant
competency standards.
The assessment process is based on evidence or information gathered to prove

achievement of competencies. The process may be applied to an employable unit(s) of
