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 completion of all specified competencies not on the specified nominal duration of learning. 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: 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 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.Enterprise-Based:Formal Apprenticeship – Training within employment involving a contract between an apprentice and an enterprise on an approved apprenticeable rmal 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. Community-Based:Community-Based Training – 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, basketball courts, etc. These programs can also be mobile training program (MTP).TRAINEE ENTRY REQUIREMENTSThe trainees who wish to enter the course should possess the following requirements:Must have certificate of employment and/or endorsement from studio/employer, for industry practitionerMust have NC or either COC-1 or COC-2 of Animation NC II, for non-industry practitionerMust pass creative skills qualifying test given by institutionMust be knowledge of at least one (1) graphic softwareThis list does not include specific institutional requirements such as educational attainment, appropriate work experience and others that may be required from the trainees by the school or training center delivering the TVET program.3.4 LIST OF TOOLS, EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS Recommended list of tools, equipment and materials for the conduct of training in 3D Animation NC III: TOOLSEQUIPMENTMATERIALSQtyDescriptionQty.DescriptionQty.Description21Operating system - minimum required version recommended in the 3D software21 unitsComputer desktop (with keyboard and 3-button mouse) - minimum hardware specification as recommended in the 3D software and AVR2 reamsTypewriting paper1Internet Access21 unitsErgonomic computer tables 1 dozenWhiteboard marker(assorted colors)21 unitsChairs2 pcsWhiteboard eraser1 unitLCD Projector2 boxesLead pencil21Any of the following 3D Software*: - Maya - 3D Studio max - Softimage - Lightwave - Maxxon Cinema 4D - Blender1 unitPrinter1 boxeraser1 unitScanner1 pcsharpener1 unitSpeakers21Any of the following graphics software*:Adobe PhotoshopPaintTool SAIManga StudioCorel DrawPaint Shop21Pen Tablet21Earphones1Digital Camera1Whiteboard 4’ X 8’* Can be either educational, license and open-source softwareIn cases where there are?specialized tools, equipment and facilities that are not?generally considered standard requirements or not absolute requisites for training, the industry working group or TESDA may provide guidelines or specific advice on such matters.3.5 TRAINING FACILITIES Based on class size of 20 students/trainees the space requirements for the teaching/learning and circulation areas are as follows:TEACHING/LEARNING AREASSIZE IN METERSAREA IN SQ.
