TRAINING APPROACH

The approach to training is based on the paradigm of Competency Based Education and Training (CBET) which fosters trainee - centred training. The teaching and learning process is trainee – centred with the trainer providing meaningful, realistic contexts, activities and effective instruction. The emphasis is on what trainees are able to do and say as a result of effective instruction. Trainees assume responsibility of their learning. Trainees work on one competency at a time and move to the next when competent in the first one hence they learn at their own pace. Methods of instruction involve mastery learning – trainees can master the required knowledge and skills provided sufficient time and appropriate training methods used. Cooperative and collaborative training should be encouraged to maximize achievement of competencies. An effective trainer employs flexible instructional strategies that recognise and accommodate individual differences and uses a variety of support materials.

It is an estimation of the time it takes an average trainee to achieve the performance requirements of a unit standard. Notional learning time should include all relevant learning activities that contribute to the attainment of the outcomes of learning viz direct contact time (Directed Learning); self- directed learning (time spent in studying, doing assignments and undertaking practical activities) and time spent in assessment.
