Section 22, “Establishment and Administration of the National

Trade Skills Standards” of the RA 7796 known as the TESDA

Act mandates TESDA to establish national occupational skill

standards. The Authority shall develop and implement a

certification and accreditation program in which private

industry group and trade associations are accredited to

conduct approved trade tests, and the local government units to

promote such trade testing activities in their respective areas in

accordance with the guidelines to be set by the Authority.

The Training Regulations (TR) serve as basis for the:

1. Competency assessment and certification;

2. Registration and delivery of training programs; and

3. Development of curriculum and assessment instruments.

Each TR has four sections:

Section 1 Definition of Qualification - describes the qualification and

defines the competencies that comprise the qualification.

Section 2 The Competency Standards format was revised to include the

Required Knowledge and Required Skills per element. These fields

explicitly state the required knowledge and skills for competent

performance of a unit of competency in an informed and effective

manner. These also emphasize the application of knowledge and

skills to situations where understanding is converted into a workplace

outcome.

Section 3 Training Arrangements – contain the information and requirements

which serve as bases for training providers in designing and delivering

competency-based curriculum for the qualification. The revisions to

Section 3 entail identifying the Learning Activities leading to

achievement of the identified Learning Outcome.

Section 4 Assessment and Certification Arrangements - describe the policies

governing assessment and certification procedures for the

qualification.

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:

• 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

AUDIO PRODUCTION SERVICES NC I Revision 00 Promulgated (12/17/2019)

96

used to facilitate learning and formal and non-formal training. Specific

guidelines on this mode shall be issued by the TESDA Secretariat.

• 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 – short term programs conducted by non-government

organizations (NGOs), LGUs, training centers and other TVET providers

which are intended to address the specific needs of a community. Such

programs can be conducted in informal settings such as barangay hall,
