3.2 TRAINING DELIVERY

The delivery of training should adhere to the design of the curriculum. Delivery should 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 individualized and self-paced; • 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; • Allows for recognition of prior learning (RPL) or current competencies; • Training allows for multiple entry and exit; and • Approved training programs are Nationally Accredited

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 learning is a competency-based training modality wherein the trainee is allowed to progress at his own pace. The trainer just 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, audio, video or computer technologies.

3.3 TRAINEE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Trainees or students wishing to gain entry into this course should possess the following requirements:

• can communicate both orally and in written • physically and mentally fit • with good moral character • can perform basic mathematical computation

This list does not include specific institutional requirements such as educational attainment, appropriate work experience, and others that may be required of the trainees by the school of training center delivering the TVET program.

|Bottom |the sole, insole, heel of the shoe |
|Blocking/Crimping |performed on a high fronted vamp to improve shape and fit and to achieve greater curvature of |
| |upper |
|Bonding |Attaching of lasted sole to upper using adhesives |
|Counter |refers to a component stitched to the rear of the quarters to give added stiffness specially in|
| |brogue shoes. |
|De-lasting |the process of removing the finished shoe from the last after sole attaching or finishing |
|Eyelet |a ring of metal or other material inserted in the shoe upper to provide a durable ring for lace|
| |holes |
|Folding | an upper edge treatment where a narrow margin of the edge is folded over and secured by |
| |adhesive |
|Gimping |a decorative margin like a row of saw teeth cut into an upper component where it overlays |
| |another component, as in a brogue shoe |
|Heel |seat part of the footwear bottom, it may either be attached separately or may be an integral |
| |part of the sole and may be of various types ( Spanish, Louis, wedge, etc.) The heel tip/top |
| |lift is an integral part of the heel. |
|Insole |a structural sole member of the sole between the foot and the outsole. May be of leather, |
| |fiberboard, leather board or synthetic material of various kinds. Its moisture absorbent |
| |qualities are considered to be important for foot health and comfort |
|Last |the generalized approximate foot form or mould on which a boot or shoe is made |
|Lasting |the shaping of the upper tightly to the contour of the last and pulling and stretching the |
| |upper to avail bunches or wrinkles by machine |

|Splitting |dividing an upper or bottom component into two or more parts by cutting it through its |
| |thickness parallel to the surface |
|Stamping |used for identification during manufacturing. Necessary to provide information without |
| |detracting from appearance of footwear |
|Stitching/Closing |is the permanent joining parts together by use of threads |
|Toe-Puff |stiffening material, usually of impregnated fabric, fiberboard or printed-on plastic, under the|
| |toe part of the upper (in between the upper and lining) to help shape retention, appearance and|
| |protect the toes. |
