1. Competency-based training facilities have several key components, including practical work areas, learning resource centers, and institutional assessment areas. 2. Proper maintenance of training facilities is important to extend their useful lifetimes, ensure operational readiness, and promote safety. Effective maintenance programs involve planning, implementation, assessment, and sustaining improvements. 3. Safety, waste management, and hazard identification are important considerations for training facilities. Facilities should have measures in place to address hazardous materials, equipment, and first aid/medical needs.

2. Training facilities are structures provided for
learning purposes. Training facilities include
classrooms, workshops, laboratory, library and
utilities such as lighting, water, drainage and
sewage, as required in carrying out the transfer of
knowledge and skills. Training facilities also cover
built structures such as buildings (single and multi-
purpose), tracks, walkways and plants (fixtures,
infrastructure and superstructure)

3. Facilities in a traditional training delivery are very
different from a competency-based training facility
where trainees have to master all the required
competencies of their training qualification. For this
reason, TESDA has identified the different
components of competency

4. The Different Components of Competency-based Training Facilities as Follows

5. 1. Practical Work Area – This area is where the
trainee acquires the skills and knowledge components
of the competencies prescribed by the standard.

6. 2. Learning Resource Center - This area is
proximate to the heart – the practical work area. This
area provides the trainee with the knowledge
requirements in the various modules responding to
the competencies. It is a place where projects can be
planned and self paced learning is based. This area
has an array of learning materials in print or soft-
copies for a multimedia environment.

7. 3. Institutional Assessment Area – It is located very
proximate to the practical work area. This is where
recognition of prior learning is done by the trainer.
This component also provides the mechanism of
assessing the completion of competencies of a trainee.
Upon completion of all modules within a competency,
the trainee is handed a Certificate of Achievement.
This facility is provided with a computer system that
houses and manages trainees’ individual records.

8. 4. Contextual Learning Laboratory – This facility
ensures that the underpinning knowledge, the science,
mathematics and communication principles as applied
to the technology are provided to the trainee.

9. 5. Quality Control – Various tests aside from
metrology and calibration are conducted in this area
including in-process quality control. Here, finished
products generated from the training are scrutinized if
standards or requirements are met.

10. 6. Trainers Resource Area – This area houses the
learning materials, the training regulations and
curriculum exemplars. This is also the place where
instructors produce courseware or training materials.

11. 7. Distance Learning Area – One major issue of
TVET is accessibility. This is the major objective of
this component – enhance accessibility of TVET. This
is to enable the learning provision outside and away
from the training institution in the term of print and
non-print media. At present, this is implemented in
selected qualifications and training centers with
Internet connections.

12. 8. Computer Laboratory – This area depicts the
major physical change in the delivery – the use of
Information technology. This laboratory has an array
of computer units where trainee are provided to learn
and gain appropriate IT competencies that may include
Word, Excel even Desktop Publishing as may be
prescribed in the competency standard and curriculum.
Computer units are in a LAN environment hooked to
an ISP for Internet access.

13. 1. Adequate Space - The facility should have enough
space to accommodate all participants comfortably, as
well as any necessary equipment and materials.
2. Appropriate Equipment - The facility should be
equipped with the necessary tools and resources to
support the training program, such as computers,
projectors, and whiteboards.

14. 3. Accessibility - The facility should be easily
accessible to participants, whether by public
transportation or by car.
4. Safety and Security - The facility should be safe
and secure, with appropriate measures in place to
prevent accidents, injuries, or unauthorized access.

15. 5. Comfortable Environment - The facility should be
comfortable and conducive to learning, with proper
lighting, temperature control, and ventilation.
6. Technological Infrastructure - The facility should
have a reliable and up-to-date technological
infrastructure, including high-speed internet and secure
Wi-Fi.

16. 7. Adequate Parking - The facility should have
adequate parking for participants who are driving to
the training.
8. Convenient Location - The facility should be
located in a convenient area that is accessible to
participants and has nearby amenities such as
restaurants and hotels.

17. 9. Flexibility - The facility should be adaptable to
different types of training programs and formats, such
as classroom-style lectures or hands-on workshops.

18. Maintenance is an excellent means of improving the
performance and condition of equipment and facilities.
An effective maintenance program identified problems
long before any equipment or facility breaks down or
deteriorate. A good maintenance system presents the
early discovery of problems, thus providing plenty of
lead time for effective maintenance planning.

19. The factors contributing to the rapidly growing interest
in maintenance are:
1. Technological Development - This trend leads to a
more mechanized and automated equipment, resulting
in great productive potential which must be kept
working. This means that training facilities are
becoming more complicated and required more
advanced maintenance.

20. 2. Increasingly Expensive Raw Materials - Finite
raw materials, in combination with a growing
population and increasing assumption, inevitably result
in higher raw material prices. Unavoidably, the costs
of all by-products must rise. It is therefore often more
profitable to maintain existing equipment than
purchase new ones.

21. 3. Greater Complication - A complicated facility of
piece of equipment includes many components, any or
all of which can constitute possible sources of trouble.
Although the operational reliability of each individual
component may be very high, it is necessary to
multiply reliability factor of all components that are
dependent on each other in a system in order to arrive
at the total system reliability.

22. 4. Increased Fixed Costs - Capital costs constitute a
considerable part of the total costs of training and must
be covered by the added value created. If training stops
as a result of inadequate maintenance, capital
costs(depreciation) must still be paid, so that the
standstill results in a net loss. Still, the salaries and
overhead expenses must be paid while training is
stopped.

23. 5. Reduce Delayed Activities and Eradicate
Uncompleted Work - Many work processes depend
on an uninterrupted flow of activities to produce
desired result. If an activity is delayed, the entire work
stops. If all the facilities and equipment are reliable
working well, work delay can be reduced

24. 6. Environmental Concern - The growing quantity of
electronic wastes (monitors, laptops, cellular phones,
other electronic gadgets and its substances), the
increasing use of chemicals such as cleaning agents,
paints, and its derivatives by-products created from its
use, and its disposal, pose danger to the environment
and all living things. Mass awareness on waste
management brings the relevance of conserving the
natural resources and the products

25. To extend the useful life of physical facilities.
To ensure the operational readiness of installed
equipment and maximum possible return on
investments.
To properly discard hazardous wastes
To ensure the safety of personnel using the facilities,
physical properties and the environment.

26. Ensured SAFE environment

28. Plan – In this stage an organization must be able to
prepare a good maintenance program which will
define the standards for best management practices.
Do – Here, the organization through the clearly
identified maintenance program, must be able to
practice the methods systems as planned.

29. Check – To determine if the maintenance program is
implemented according to what is planned, an
assessment must be done.
Act – Inspection will allow the organization to
determine if the standards of maintenance are met.

31. Seiri (Sort)
Refers to the practice of sorting and through all the
tools, materials, etc., in the work area and keeping
only essential items.
Seiton (Systematize)
Refers to the practice of arranging items
systematically for the easiest and most efficient
access.

32. Seiso (Sweep)
“to make everything shiny clean”. It is the only one-
time step in the process.
Seiketsu (Standardized)
It is the process of maintaining the workplace in high
standard housekeeping.

33. Shitsuke (Self discipline)
Refers to the maintaining of standards and keeping
the workplace clean and efficient order day after day,
year after year.

34. SAFETY - As defined may be the freedom to danger
injury or damage, as well as security, are integral
parts of the trade which they are in.

35. Emergency Preparedness – This Include plan in
place for natural disaster, medical emergencies, fires
and other potential emergencies.
Hazardous Material Safety – Many training
facilities use hazardous materials as part of their
training programs. Its important to have a proper
procedures in place for handling, storing and
disposing of this materials.

36. Equipment Safety – Training facilities often use
heavy equipment and machinery, which can be
dangerous if not used properly.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – Depending
on the type of training being conducted, participants
may need to wear PPE such as helmet, gloves, safety
glasses, or respirators.

37. Facility Security – Training facilities may contain
valuable equipment, materials and information, its
important to have proper security measures in place.
First Aid and Medical Facilities – in case of injuries
or medical emergencies, its important to have first aid
and medical facilities available on site.

38. Environmental Safety – Training facilities should be
designed and maintained in a way that minimize
environmental hazards such as air pollution, water pollution
or hazardous waste.
Hazard Identification - A hazard is a dangerous
phenomenon, substance, human activity or condition. It may
cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property
damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and, or
environmental damage.

39. Physical hazards
Chemical Hazards
Biological Hazards
Ergonomic Hazards
Psychological Hazards
Electrical Hazards
Fire Hazards

40. Waste Management is the
collection, transport,
processing, recycling or
disposal of waste materials,
usually ones by human
activity, in an effort to reduce
their effect on human health
or local aesthetics or amenity.

41. Recycling - Recycling
is processing of used
materials as waste into
new products to
prevent waste of
potentially useful
materials.

42. Recyclable - Materials
include many kinds of
glass, paper, metal,
plastic, textiles and
electronics.

43. Hazardous Waste
Management- Any
material that is
potentially hazardous
to human health or in
the environment.

44. Composting – process
of decomposing
organic waste, such as
food scraps and yard
waste.
