The delivery of training shall adhere to the design of the curriculum. Delivery shall be guided by the principles of competency-based TVET.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)Training delivery is learner-centered and should accommodate individualized and self-paced learning strategies;Training can be done on an actual workplace setting, simulation of a workplace and/or through adoption of modern technology. Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the performance of work to the industry required standards;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.Training program allows for recognition of prior learning (RPL) or current competencies;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;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.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.Project-based instruction is an authentic instructional model or strategy in which students plan, implement and evaluate projects that have real world applications.2.2 Enterprise-Based:Enterprise-based Training - where training is implemented within the organization/institution in accordance with the requirements of the specific organization/institution. Enterprise-based training may also be taken to mean a school or training center with one or more partner enterprise or an enterprise or group of enterprises setting up a common training facility or partnering with a school or training center.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.3.3TRAINEE ENTRY REQUIREMENTSTrainees or students wishing to gain entry into this course should possess the following requirements:At least senior high school level or holder of AE NC IIICan communicate both orally and in writingCan perform mensuration and calculation3.4LIST OF TOOLS, EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALSAGROENTREPRENEURSHIP NCIVRecommended list of tools, equipment and materials for the training of 25 trainees for Agroentrepreneurship NCIVTOOLSEQUIPMENTMATERIALSQTY.QTYQTY.1pcScissor1 setLCD & white cloth25 pcsMarking pens (permanent)1pcStapler1 unitcomputer1 unitprinter5 pcsMarking pens (whiteboard)/ chalk1 pcPuncher1 setPortable speaker with microphone25 pcsBallpens5 pcsCalculator1 unitCamera phone25 pcsPencils1 unitWhite/ black board5 setsCrayon (8 pcs/box)25 pcsNotebooks5 pcsMasking tape (1 inch)5Glue1 rollFlipchart100 pcsManila paper25 pcsCartolina1 pcRecord book2reamsBond paper1 boxStaple wire1 pcMeter tape1 set Printer Ink (black & colored)5 samplesProduction inputs (e.g., seeds, Fertilizers, chemicals)5Reference materials (manual, guide book)3.5TRAINING FACILITIESAGROENTREPRENEURSHIP NC IVBased on a class intake of 25 students/traineesSPACE REQUIREMENTSIZE IN METERSAREA IN SQ.

A certificate of achievement is issued for each unit of competency.SECTION 4ASSESSSMENT AND CERTIFICATION ARRANGEMENTCompetency 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 competency in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the national qualification.4.1 National asSESSMENTAND CERTIFICATION ARRANGEMENTSA National Certificate (NC) is issued when a candidate has demonstrated competence in all the units of competency that comprise the Training Regulations for AGROENTREPRENEURSHIP NCIV as follows:BASIC COMPETENCIESUtilize specialized communication skillsDevelop teams and individualsApply problem solving techniques in the workplaceCollect, analyze and organize informationPlan and organize workPromote environmental protectionCOMMON COMPETENCIESApply Safety Measures in Farm OperationsPerform Estimation and Basic CalculationProvide Quality Customer ServiceComply with Quality and Ethical StandardsCORE COMPETENCIESCapacitate FarmersFacilitate Engagement of the Agroenterprise StakeholdersMobilize Agroenterprise CommunityMonitor and Evaluate Agroenterprise ActivitiesIndividuals wanting to be certified will have to be assessed in accordance with the requirements identified in the evidence guide of the relevant unit/s of competency.

Candidates who have gained competencies through informal training, previous work or life experiences may apply for recognition in a particular qualification through competency.The industry shall determine assessment and certification requirements for each qualification with promulgated Training Regulations. It includes the following:entry requirements for candidatesevidence gathering methodsqualification requirements of competency assessorsspecific assessment and certification arrangements as by industry. 4.2 Competency Assessment RequisiteSelf-Assessment Guide. The self-assessment guide (SAG) is accomplished by the candidate prior to actual competency assessment. SAG is a pre-assessment tool to help the candidate and the assessor determine what evidence is available, where gaps exist, including readiness for assessment. This document can:Identify the candidate’s skills and knowledgeHighlight gaps in candidate’s skills and knowledgeProvide critical guidance to the assessor and candidate on the evidence that need to be presentedAssist the candidate to identify key areas in which practice is needed or additional information or skills that should be gained priorAccredited Assessment Center. Only Assessment Center accredited by TESDA is authorized to conduct competency assessment.
