3. TRAINING PACKAGE

The training package includes the competencies chart, the flowchart, the

modules, the course structure, and the assessment guidelines.

3.1 Course structure

The course structure describes the learning outcomes for each learning unit. These learning

outcomes are the essential skills and knowledge to be acquired. The contents to be covered for

each learning outcome are prescriptive. The Learning Activities contain a series of suggestions,

usually with several options, that will guide the learner and the trainer.

3.2Competencies chart

The competencies chart is a table that presents an overview of the specific competencies, the

general competencies, the work process and the time allocated to each competency. This table

provides an overall view of the competencies of the training program and allows identification of

the logical sequence of the learning of these competencies.

The competencies chart shows the relationship between general competencies and specific

competencies that are particular to the occupation, as well as the key stages of the work process.

It shows the links between the elements in the horizontal axis and those in the vertical axis. The

symbol (ο) marks a relationship between a general competency and specific competency. The

symbol (∆) indicates a relationship between a specific competency and a step in the process of

work. When the symbols are darkened, it indicates that the link is taken into account in the

description of the specific competency.

The competencies chart allows the trainer to consider the complexity of the competencies in the

organization of the progress of learning. Therefore, the vertical axis shows the specific

competencies in the order they should be acquired.

This is the starting point of the presentation of the competencies in the flowchart presented in

the following pages.

3.3 Flowchart

The flowchart of sequencing of learning is a schematic representation of the order of acquisition

of the competencies. It provides an overall planning of the entire training programme and shows

the relationship between the modules. This type of planning is to ensure consistency and

progression of learning. For each module, the flowchart shows the learning that is already in

place, the learning that is to take in parallel or later. The positions defined will have a decisive

impact on all subsequent pedagogical choices. The flowchart of the sequence of learning of the

modules of the training programme is presented on the following page.

ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES

4.1 Assessment Methodology

To assess knowledge, practical, and application skills through any form of continuous evaluation

that encourages learners to display understanding of the principles in application to set practical

tasks and their attendant theory to assess self-learning.

4.2 Portfolio

A portfolio is a collection of learner work representing learner performance. It is a folder (or

binder or even a digital collection) containing the learner’s work as well as the learner’s

evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the work. Portfolios reflect not only work

produced (such as papers and assignments, direct demonstration, indirect demonstration,

products, documents), but also it is a record of the activities undertaken over time as part of

learner learning. The portfolio is meant to show learner growth, development, and achievements

in the education system. It also shows that you have met specific learning goals and

requirements. A portfolio is not a project; it is an ongoing process for the formative assessment.

Besides, it will serve as a verification tool for each candidate that he/she attended the whole

training before he/she undergoes the summative assessment for specific modules.

There are two types of assessment (Formative Assessment and Summative/Integrated

Assessment).

Formative Assessment

The formative assessment is an assessment which is given progressively during the

training

This is applied on all types of modules (e.g. Complementary, General and Specific

modules)

Formative assessments are recommended to prepare the trainee for

summative/integrated assessment

Section

4

Page 23: TVET CERTIFICATE IV in NETWORKING

9 | P a g e

Summative/Integrated Assessment

This is given at the end of the module delivery. It helps to make sure that the learner has

successfully acquired the competence and he is able to translate the knowledge, skills and

attitude into workplace situation.

All Summative/Integrated assessment should match with the content of the module in

the curriculum.

Summative/Integrated Assessment is always in practical, giving it as a theoretical type of

assessment is not acceptable.

The integrated situation provided in the curriculum is a sample of the assessment to be

carried out, the Trainer/Teacher has the role of developing another one referring to the

task to be carried out in the integrated situation in accordance to the circumstances

inside school, but the integrated situation should stick on the components of a task.

During Summative/Integrated assessment, assessor panel members should be three (3).

This Summative/Integrated assessment can be seen in specific modules and the Trainee

can be declared competent by the following rules:

1. For YES or NO scoring of indicators in Summative/Integrated Checklist

The trainee can be declared competent based on the assessment CRITERIA and its respective

assessment indicators

Assessment Criteria Passing Line in the

assessment indicators

Quality of Process 90%

Quality of Product 100%

Relevance 90%

Rest of Criteria/ any other criteria

(example: Safety)

100%

Note: The Assessor should check if the 10% indicator (Quality of Process and Relevance) in which

the Trainee was not able to meet during Summative/Integrated Assessment should not be among

those indicators that can cause any hazard, or the one indicator that is performed poorly where

there is room for improvement.

Page 24: TVET CERTIFICATE IV in NETWORKING

10 | P a g e

1. During assessment, trainees with special needs (e.g. people with disability) should be

assisted accordingly.

2. It is the responsibility of the school to consider the status (competent/not yet competent)

of trainees and conduct reassessments when necessary

3. Respect of flowchart and chronogram particularly in considering the delivery of modules

which has prerequisite of a following/subsequent module is highly recomended

4. All evidences during assessment (e.g. quiz, checklist, forms) should have a written form

that is compiled in the Trainer (source) and Trainee (result) portfolio. Portfolio is the

responsibility of School, Class Teacher, and Trainees. It should be given to trainees after

certification.

5. Industrial Attachment Program (IAP)

- For trainees It is advised to finish and be declared competent on the 30 hours

content of IAP module written in the curriculum before going to workplace or

industry.

- The school should organize visit for all trainees in the workplace or industry to

confirm and assist IAP especially in filling up the logbook.

- An interview to the trainee should be conducted in the school after the IAP has been

completed and should be documented in the trainee portfolio.

- All completed logbooks should be part of the trainee portfolio.

Purpose statement

This general module describes the knowledge, skills and attitude required to apply fundamental

mathematical analysis. Analysis is at a depth, complexity, and possibly beauty, since under the surface of

everyday mathematics, there is an assurance of correctness, that we call consistency. Thus, from

Analysis, in other fields of academic study, there are sights of a strange land increasingly brought to the

head (forefront) of standard critical thinking. At the end of this module, the trainee of Level Four will be

able to determine and analyze algebraic functions, fundamentals of differentiation, natural logarithmic

and exponential functions. This module will be useful to trainee as a means of both measuring and

improving their understanding of Mathematics and he/she will be equipped to perform well in any fields

that require some knowledge of mathematics as well as working in design, demography, solving real

problems, good performance in critical thinking and so on.

GLOSSARY

Assessment: A process of gathering and judging

evidence in order to decide whether a person

has attained a standard of performance.

Assessment criteria: Statements which describe

performances and place them in context with

sufficient precision to allow valid and reliable

assessment.

Best practice: Management practices and work

processes that lead to outstanding or top-class

performance and provide examples for others.

Competency standard: An industry-determined

specification of performance which sets out the

skills, knowledge and attitudes required to

operate effectively in employment. Competency

standards are made up of units of competency,

which are themselves made up of elements of

competency, together with performance

criteria, a range of variables, and an evidence

guide.

Competency: means the ability to apply

knowledge, skills and personal, social and

methodological skills in the workplace or

during learning, as well as in personal and

professional development. This ability or

capacity is acquired through leaning, exposure to

the tasks and series of training allowing one to

perform specific task autonomously. Reason

why in the context of the CBE Framework

competencies are described as responsibility

and independence.

Competency-based assessment (or CBA): The

gathering and judging of evidence in order to

decide whether a person has achieved a

standard of competency.

Complementary competencies: Set of

knowledge, skills and attitudes which are not

directly linked to a specific occupation or

industry, but which are important for work,

education and life in general, such as

communication, mathematics, organizational

aptitude, and computer literacy, interpersonal

and analytical competency.

Core modules: Modules leading to

competencies’ acquisition that an industry

sector has agreed upon as essential for a person

to be accepted as competent at a particular

level. All modules may be core, but in many cases

competency at a level will involve core modules

plus optional or specialization modules. Core

competencies are normally those central to work

in a particular industry.

Credential: Formal certification issued for

successful achievement of a defined set of

outcomes, e.g. successful completion of a course

in recognition of having achieved particular

knowledge, skills or competencies; successful

completion of an apprenticeship or traineeship.

Credit: The acknowledgement that a person has

satisfied the requirements of a module.

Curriculum: The specifications for a course or

subject (module) which describe all the learning

experiences a learner undergoes, generally

including objectives, content, intended learning

outcomes, teaching methodology,

recommended or prescribed assessment tasks,

assessment exemplars, etc.

Evidence guide: The part of a competency

standard which provides a guide to the

Page 511: TVET CERTIFICATE IV in NETWORKING

interpretation and assessment of the unit of

competency, including the aspects which need

to be emphasized in assessment, relationships to

other units, and the required evidence of

competency.

Flexible delivery: A range of approaches to

providing education and training, giving learners

greater choice of when, where and how they

learn. Flexible delivery may involve distance

education, mixed-mode delivery, online

education, self-paced learning, self-directed

learning, etc.

Formal education: Also formal training

education or training provided in educational

institutions such as schools, universities,

colleges, etc. or off the job in a workplace,

usually involving direction from a teacher or

instructor.

General competencies: competencies

correspond to larger operations that go beyond

the tasks, but generally contribute to their

implementation. These activities require more

fundamental learning and are generally common

to several tasks and transferable to many work

situations.

Generic modules: Modules leading to the

attainment of complementary competencies.

Informal education: The acquisition of

knowledge and skills through experience,

reading, social contact, etc.

Internship: An opportunity for a learner to

integrate career related experience by

participating in planned, supervised work.

Key competencies: Any of several generic skills

or competencies considered essential for people

to participate effectively in the workforce. Key

competencies apply to work generally, rather

than being specific to work in a particular

occupation or industry. The following are key

areas of competency which were developed into

seven key competencies: collecting, analyzing

and organizing information; communicating

ideas and information; planning and organizing

activities; working with others and in teams;

using mathematical ideas and techniques;

solving problems; and using technology.

Knowledge: means the result of the adoption

of information through the learning process.

Knowledge is a set of facts, principles, theories

and practices related to area of work or study. In

CBE context lifelong learning knowledge is

described as theoretical and / or factual.

Learning outcomes: are statements of what

learner knows, understands and can perform,

based on the completion of the learning

process, defined by knowledge, skill and

competency.

Learning activities: Suggested activities that can

be developed during lesson planning and activity

preparation. The choice of learning activities

must be tailored according to group size,

available material resources and communication

tools.

Learning hours: Amount of hours required to

acquire the competency, including the time

allocated to evaluation, which is estimated

between 5 and 10% of the total learning time of

the competency.

Learning outcomes: Statements that indicate

what learners will know or be able to do as a

result of a learning activity. Learning outcomes

are usually expressed as knowledge, skills, or

attitudes.

Learning unit: Any of the basic building blocks

of a module, which describes the key activities

Page 512: TVET CERTIFICATE IV in NETWORKING

or the elements of the work covered by the

module

Module: A unit of training which corresponds to

one competency and which can be completed on

its own or linked to others.

Occupation: The principal business of one’s life.

Performance criteria The part of a competency

standard specifying the required level of

performance in terms of a set of outcomes which

need to be achieved in order to be deemed

competent. It describes the quality requirements

of the result obtained in labor performance.

Qualification: means the formal name for the

result of a process of assessment and validation,

which is obtained when a competent body

determines that an individual has achieved

learning outcomes to the standards laid down.

Quality assurance: The systems and procedures

designed and implemented by an organization to

ensure that its products and services are of a

consistent standard and are being continuously

improved.

Recognition of prior learning (or RPL): The

acknowledgement of a person’s skills and

knowledge acquired through previous training,

work or life experience, which may be used to

grant status or credit in a subject or module.

Skills: are the ability to apply knowledge and use

the principle of “know how” to perform a specific

task and to solve the problem. In the context

of the CBE Framework, skills are defined as

cognitive (involving the use of logical, intuitive

and creative thinking), practical (including

physical skill and use of methods, materials,

devices and instruments) and social skills

(communication and cooperation skills,

emotional intelligence and other).

Specific competencies: Competencies that are

directly related to the tasks of the occupation in

the workplace context. They refer to concrete,

practical, and focused aspects

Traineeship: A system of vocational training

combining off-the-job training at an approved

training provider with on-the-job training and

practical work experience. Traineeships

generally take one to two years and are now a

part of the New Apprenticeships system.

Unit of competency: A component of a

competency standard. A unit of competency is a

statement of a key function or role in a particular

job or occupation. See also element of

competency, performance criteria, range of

variables.
