Ten (10) Principles of CBT

1) The training is based on curriculum developed from the competency standards.
2) Learning is competency-based or modular in structure.
Unit of Competency

• Module
Module 2

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.

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.
Training is based on work that must be performed.
Learning is based on the actual industry practice
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.
he CBC will be further discussed in the succeeding information sheet.
 Traditional CBTVET
Students are judged Each Student is assessed
against each other (norm against the evidences
based on standard _______
referenced Assessment)

Assessment of learners is based in the collection of evidences of work performance based on industry or
organizational required standards.
6) Training is based on and off the job components and off the job components.
7) Better learning with industry and school partnership
8) The system allows Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
9) Workers and Students can have prior skills recognized
10) 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.
11) 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.
12) There is flexibility for entry and exit from programs
13) 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:
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.
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.
