Delivery shall be guided by the 10 basic principles of competency-based TVET: The training is based on curriculum developed from the competency standards; Learning is modular in its structure; Training delivery is learner-centered and should accommodate individualized and self-paced learning strategies; Training is based on work that must be performed; Training materials are directly related to the competency standards and the curriculum modules; Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the performance of work to the industry required standard; Training is based both on and off-the-job components; Training program allows for recognition of prior learning (RPL) or current competencies; Training allows for multiple entry and exit; and Training programs are registered with the UTPRAS. 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 may be adopted when designing training programs: The dualized mode of training delivery is preferred and recommended. Thus programs would contain both in-school and in-industry training or fieldwork components. Details can be referred to the Dual Training System (DTS) Implementing Rules and Regulations. Modular/self-paced is a competency-based training modality wherein the trainee is allowed to progress at his own pace. The trainer facilitates the training delivery. Peer teaching/mentoring is a training modality wherein fast learners are given the opportunity to assist the slow learners. Supervised Industry Training or On-the-Job Training 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 prescribed in the training regulations. 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, or audio, video or computer technologies. Project-based instruction is an authentic instructional model or strategy in which students plan, implement and evaluate projects that have real world applications. 3.3 TRAINEE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS Trainees or students who wants to entry into these qualifications should possess the following requirements: can communicate in basic English either oral and written; at least high school graduate; physically and mentally fit; with good moral character; and can perform basic mathematical computation With pleasing personality  3.4 LIST OF TOOLS, EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS Recommended list of tools, equipment and materials for the training of 25 trainees for BREAD AND PASTRY PRODUCTION NC II.
