3.2 TRAINING DELIVERY

1. 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.

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.

2. 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:

2.1 School/Institution- Based:

 Dual Training System (DTS) which contain both in-school and in-
industry training or fieldwork components. Details can be referred to
the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the DTS Law;

 The traditional classroom-based or in-center instruction may be
enhanced through use of learner-centered methods as well as
laboratory or field-work components.

2.2 Enterprise-Based:

 Enterprise-based Training- where training is implemented within the
company in accordance with the requirements of the specific
company. Specific guidelines on this mode shall be issued by the
TESDA Secretariat.

TR – Automotive Servicing NC I Promulgated February 27, 2018 100

2.3 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.

3.3 TRAINEE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Trainees or students should possess the following requirements:

 can communicate both oral and written; and
 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 or training center delivering the TVET
program.

Position vehicle Any act of moving the vehicle whether manual or with the
use of equipment.

Power steering A steering that has been designed to make the wheel move
more easily than in a manual steering system. Hydraulic
assists the process utilizing hydraulic fluid. The fluid
increases pressure in the power steering pump and aids in
the movement of the steering mechanism. This fluid, called
power steering fluid, is what is replaced at regular intervals
to keep steering soft and comfortable.

Power tools Tools that are actuated by an additional power source and
mechanism other than the solely manual labor used with
hand tools.

Pressure The continuous physical force exerted on or against an
object by something in contact with it.

Quality check Checking and inspection of work done to make sure that
servicing was done according to manufacturer standards.

Repair order Document where services made to the vehicle are listed.

Revolutions per It is a measure of the frequency of rotation, specifically the
minute (rpm) number of rotations around a fixed axis in one minute. It is
used as a measure of rotational speed of a mechanical
component.

Special Service tools A tool specially designed for specific job.

Steering system An automotive system that is used to turn the wheels of a
vehicle.

TR – Automotive Servicing NC I Promulgated February 27, 2018 109

Suspension system An automotive system of tires, tire air, springs, shock
absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its
wheels and allows to relative motion between the two.

Super charged engine An engine that is similar to a turbo-charged engine which
uses a series of belts or chains from the crankshaft to turn
the turbines that forces the air/fuel mixture into the cylinder
heads under pressure creating a bigger explosion which
generates more power. A turbocharger uses the exhaust
gases to turn the turbines to create the same effect.

Thermostat A device for automatic regulation of temperature.

Torque A twisting force that tends to cause rotation.

Transaxle Type of construction in which the transmission and
differential are combined in one unit.

Trouble light It is a special lamp used to illuminate obscure places and
able to handle moderate abuse. The lightbulb is housed in
a protective cage and a handle that are molded to form a
single unit.

Turbo charged engine A performance-increasing turbine positioned in the exhaust
system. Expanding exhaust gases spin an impeller (very
small fan-type blades) at speeds up to 25 thousand rpm,
driving a similar compressing impeller. Compressed air
from the driven impeller is forced into the induction system,
which squeezes more air/fuel mixture into the combustion
chambers. With the greater charge of air and fuel, a more
powerful combustion burn results, thus more power. The
big advantage of the turbo over directly driven
superchargers is the increased efficiency, although there is
a slight lag before the turbine spins up and increases the
power output. Originally turbo was developed to enable
aircraft to fly at high altitudes, then they found use in diesel
trucks and train engines to increase their torque.

U-joint A four-joint cross-connected to two U-shaped yokes that
serve as a flexible coupling between shafts.

Vehicle performance It refers to operational and functional condition of the
vehicle.

Vehicle reference Materials which contains information for operations,
materials maintenance and repair of vehicles.

Wash bay Area where the vehicle is washed after service.
