SECTION 3 TRAINING Arrangements
These standards are set to provide technical and vocational education and training (TVET) providers with information and other important requirements to consider when designing training programs for GRAINS PRODUCTION NC II.
They include information on curriculum design; training delivery; trainee entry requirements; tools and equipment; training facilities; and trainer’s qualification.
1. CURRICULUM DESIGN
TESDA shall provide training on the development of competency-based curricula to enable training providers develop their own curricula with the components mentioned below.
Delivery of knowledge requirements for the basic, common and core units of competency specifically in the areas of mathematics, science/technology, communication/language and other academic subjects shall be contextualized. To this end, TVET providers may develop a Contextual Learning Matrix (CLM) to include also green technology, issues on health and drugs and persons with disabilities (PWD’s).
Course Title: GRAINS PRODUCTION NC Level NC II
Nominal Training Duration:
| | 20 hrs |Basic Competencies |
| | 72 hrs |Common Competencies |

2. TRAINING DELIVERY
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 (Video Conferencing, Webinar, etc).
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.
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:
1. Institution- Based:
• Classroom-based or School-based training coordinated study other 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.
• 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. Enterprise-Based:
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.
• 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.
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. These programs can also be mobile training programs (MTP).
3. TRAINEE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Trainees or students who want to enroll in this course should possess the following requirements:
• Able to read and write
• Able to communicate, both orally and in writing
• Basic mathematical skills
• Physically able
