qualification.

3.1 CURRICULUM DESIGN

TESDA shall provide the training on the development of competency-
based curricula to training providers. This will equip them with needed knowledge
and skills in developing their own curricula based on the components mentioned
below.

Delivery of knowledge requirements for the basic, common and core units
of competency specifically in the areas of mathematics, science/technology,
communication/language and other academic subjects shall be contextualized.
To this end, TVET providers shall develop a Contextual Learning Matrix (CLM) to
accompany their curricula.

Course Title: Electrical Installation and Maintenance NC Level: NC II

Nominal Training Hours:
18 Hours (Basic competencies)
24 Hours (Common competencies)

154 Hours (Core competencies)
Total: 196 Hours

Course Description:

This course is designed to equip individuals with operational skills in
Electrical Installation & Maintenance NC level II particularly in installing and
maintaining electrical wiring, lighting and related equipment/systems in residential
houses/buildings where the voltage does not exceed 600 volts.

To complete the course, all units prescribed for this qualification must be
achieved:
