Supervised Work-based Learning

As per the Trainers Methodology Level 1 (TM-1) Training Regulations (TR), the Core Competency Supervised Work Based Learning (SWBL) is described as a,

"... unit [that] covers the knowledge, skills and attitude required particularly establishing training requirements for trainees, monitoring work-based training, and reviewing and evaluating work-based learning effectiveness to supervise work-based learning process. "

This core competency, have three (3) learning outcomes (LO)s that a candidate needs to have achieved in order to be considered competent for this core competency. These Learning outcomes are:

1. Establish training requirements for trainees.
2. Monitor work-based training; and
3. Review and evaluate work-based learning effectiveness.

Referring now to the Supervised Wok Based Learning - Competency Based Learning Materials (SWBL-CBLM) that the National TVET Trainer's Academy (NTTA) had released, we can notice that the content arrangement was based on how the different learning outcomes were specified under the Training Regulations.

Advance reading the CBLM will now give us the following output requirements that you as a TM-1 Trainee needs to submit in order to complete the portfolio requirements of this core competency. These requirements are:

For SWBL-CBLM LO1, there are two required outputs for this LO, these are: JOB SHEET 4.1-4 DETERMINE TRAINEE'S TRAINING REQUIREMENT; and JOB SHEET 4.1-5 TRAINING PLAN. Worth noticing is the inclusion of the determination of trainee's requirement which has been discussed under the Plan Training Session (PTS).

For SWBL-CBLM LO2, similarly, there are two outputs for this is LO, these are: JOB SHEET 4.2-2a Prepare Trainee’s Record Book; and JOB SHEET 4.2-2b Prepare Trainee's Progress Sheet.

Lastly, For SWBL CBLM LO3, there are also two outputs needed for this LO, these are: INFORMATION SHEET 4.3-1 Work-Based Training Evaluation Tools; and TASK SHEET 4.3-2 Interpret and Analyze Program Evaluation.

Except for the Training Needs Analysis, all the output documents indicated in the CBLM are needed for your portfolio requirement, Worth noting too is that all documents that you are to include are utilized documents, meaning, these documents are properly signed, processed and analyzed.

To complete the Institutional Assessment (IA) requirements of this core competency, aside from the above-mentioned portfolio documents, you as the Trainee, will also be required to undergo an essay form of written examination and an interview from the lead Facilitators.

You are required to pass the Institutional Assessment of this core competency before you can be allowed to proceed to the next core competency, Utilized Electronics Media (UEM), and only upon by passing these Institutional Assessment requirement, will you be awarded a certificate of Achievement.

In my next blog, I will discuss the development of each required portfolio documents.

Cheers!
