PTS Reviewer For INTERVIEW of Trainees
PTS Reviewer For INTERVIEW of Trainees
Training activities are done towards the attainment of the assessment criteria set in the
competency based curriculum.
Competency Based Learning Materials are prepared per competency which shall serve as the
main material and guide in training. Information in the attainment of knowledge and skills are
provided for in the CBLM.
Trainees are treated as individual learners with different characteristics, learning styles and
training needs. The sessions should therefore provide for varied activities, employing different
methods of training.
Training is always based on actual industry practices. Training should provide for a simulated
work environment.
5. Training materials are directly related to the competency standards and curriculum
modules;
The Competency Based Learning Materials used during the training should conform to the
competency based curriculum and the competency standards. The trainer should always check
his session plans and CBLMs to make sure that all assessment criteria are attained. The
Competency Standards always provide the minimum requirements of the competency. A trainer
should always aim for the attainment of every criteria.
6. Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the performance of work to the industry
required standard;
Assessment is done to test whether the trainee is able to perform the job based on the required
criteria in the competency standards. A carefully prepared Institutional Evaluation Tool should
be used to assess the competency of the trainee. In CBT, competency is based on the
satisfaction of the criteria/evidences which are collected through an institutional competency
evaluation.
Current competencies acquired through training or work experience are recognized before
training through a validation process so that the trainer can provide activities that match the
learning level of each trainee. Prior learning is recognized by giving them a Certificate of
Achievement for the competencies acquired previously. Data on other acquired skills should be
carefully recorded to serve as data for planning the training activities of a particular trainee. A
trainee who has prior experiences as a janitor but is not yet competent in “Providing
Housekeeping Services to Guest”, for example, may not practice how to use cleaning equipment
anymore but would concentrate on other activities that would help him satisfy the assessment
criteria of the competency. This would shorten the training hours of the particular trainee.
Trainees do not need to wait for others to be competent before he can exit either a competency
or the qualification. Fast learners may graduate faster than others.
All programs should be registered to the Unified TVET Program Registration and Accreditation
System. UTPRAS registration assures the quality of training.
Training needs is determined by comparing the current competencies of the trainee to those
required by the Competency Standards of the qualification
Training is based both on and off the job component is a training be done in a simulated
work environment (the laboratory) and/or in an actual work environment such as in training
cum production, enterprise based training, supervised industry training and on-the-job
training.

• Learning is most effective when it builds on what the student already knows or
has experienced.
• Learning is most effective when students are aware of what they need to
learn.
The more realistic the learning situation, the more effective the learning.
A session plan is a tool in planning training sessions. It contains the objectives of the course, the training
activities, assessment method and the reflections of the trainer on the training session.
5. What is the main basis in sequencing the contents in your session plan?
Contents should be based on the attainment of the assessment criteria and should be sequenced based
on the hierarchy of learning.
Trainer should identify the main skill to be mastered and determine the contents and activities needed
towards the attainment of this skill.
6. What are your bases in sequencing the learning events or activities in your session plan? *
The sequence of the training activities is based on the nine events of instruction namely:
1. Gaining attention
5. Providing Feedback
6. Assessing performance
7. Eliciting performance
Content
Objective
Cost
Target audience
Time
Resources
Size of audience
Has a title that gives some idea of the coverage of the sheet
Approach in terms of content and presentation is appropriate to the interest and reading level
of the learner
The layout, text and drawings are attractive in appearance and legible
Illustrations are positioned to the side or just below the sentences referring to the illustrations
9. What are the elements of a good performance objective?
Condition
Performance
Criterion
10. What is the purpose of preparing an evidence plan? The evidence plan:
4. Inform the learners of what is expected of them before they begin the assessment
Serves as a guide for the trainer in determining the method of assessment to be used
11. What is the basis of your evidence requirements in your evidence plan?
The assessment criteria of the learning outcomes of the competency are the basis of the evidence plan.
1. Safe
2. Accessible
3. Complete components
Well-sequenced
When equipment and materials are limited and performance need the actual work environment,
observation is most appropriate.
What will you do if a trainee claims that he has evidences that shows his competence on most of the
competencies of the qualification he is training on?
Subject the trainee to an institutional assessment for Recognition of Prior Learning.
Use the Task Sheets for smaller skills towards the attainment of the bigger skill, then use the Job Sheet
to integrate tasks into the bigger skill.
If he satisfies assessment criteria of the competency and demonstrates the four dimensions of
competency.
Make an evidence plan, table of specification for written test and make test items not so easy but not
too difficult
Safety Questions
When preparing your shop layout, how do you plan for the safety of your trainees?
Make available provisions for OHS such as the fire extinguishers, medicine cabinets and fire exits.
The question that I used to ask before preparing session plans are what are the Training
Needs of my student, what are the Learning Outcomes, Time, Resources needed the Target group and
Trainees Characteristics.
The answer to my questions is based from training needs analysis TNA forms/Pre-training
forms or recognition of prior learning RPL forms, competency-based curriculum CBC/module of
instruction MOI, competency standard CS/training regulation TR.
The components of Session plan are Sector, Qualification, Unit of Competency, Learning
Outcomes, Introduction, Learning Activities, Assessment Plan.
The factors I consider in selecting training methods are Content, Objective, Cost, Target
audience, Time, Resources
The learning events are based on Gagne’s Theory on 9 learning events (Gain attention, State
objectives, Stimulate recall of prior learning, Present stimuli, Guide learning, Elicit performance, Provide
feedback, Assess performance and Enhance transfer) Simple to complex, Hierarchy of learning.
I use Demonstration, Written test, Interview and Portfolio evaluation in assessing my trainees. In
Demonstration to measure Underpinning skills, Written test to measure Underpinning knowledge,
Portfolio measure Underpinning knowledge and skills as attested by external party, Interview to probe on
the
The adult learning style that always in my mind are as follows; Goal oriented and needs
immediate feedback, Practical, Demands respect, Seeks Relevance and value, Learns independently and
in variety of ways, Uses past experiences, Seeks personal growth & development,
