G lobal Competency-based Training Center (GCBTC) has been providing competency-based training services for more than six years. GCBTC Alegria branch located at

Alegria, Surigao del Norte has been regularly offer-ing short competency-based courses like Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Consumer Electronics Servicing (CES), Bookkeeping, and Computer Hard-ware Servicing (CHS). There were already numbers of trainees both regular and scholarship grantees who enrolled on these competency courses. Many grab the opportunity as scholarship grantees-trainees while others preferred to take as regular trainees like me. But you may wonder why I prefer to be a regular trainee? What is different between regular trainees and scholarship trainees at GCBTC?

Both the scholarship grantees and regular trainees shall undergo on the same training methodology that is 20% theory and 80% practicum at GCBTC. The training is based on curriculum from the competency standards developed by the industry so the learning is competency-based or modular in structure where all training programs are nationally approved and accredited by Technical Education and Skills Devel-opment Authority (TESDA). The training delivery is individualized and self-paced. At GCBTC trainees are demonstrate their progress by performance and work outputs. Training materials are directly related to the competency standards and the curriculum. The institutional entry assessment of incoming train-ees is based in the collection of evidence of the per-formance of work to the industry or organizational required standards. At GCBTC, the system allows Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

Scholarship trainees and its benefits The scholarship grantees are those that were funded by TESDA and other donor person or institu-tions preferably to assist interested person and out-of-school youth to learn and undergo competency-based trainings. Usually, the scholarship donor or sponsor will directly pay the training costs to the training center like GCBTC where their scholarship grantees are enrolled; hence one of the benefits of the scholarship trainees is that they have free train-ing cost. Other scholarship may provide free tools and materials, fares and allowances depending on the type of scholarship and its coverage.

The time arrangement of training classes for scholarship grantees is fixed. Hence all scholarship

grantees are required to attend regular class which is eight hours every day until the completion of re-quired training hours like 356 hours or 45 days for CHS course. here is actually hectic schedule for the scholarship grantees but manageable once every-body cooperates with their trainer and drive them-selves heartily to complete the training course with all their power and strength. What about regular trainees? The regular trainees on the other hand, will be the one to personally pay their training cost to the train-ing center where they enrolled. But unlike the schol-arship grantees, the regular trainees at GCBTC have flexible time arrangement with their trainer. In this case, a regular trainee has given the right to choose freely on the time of the training schedule he or she wanted to undergo within the training pro-gram with favorable consent or agreement with his or her trainer and provided that the training program he or she enrolled is within the required training hours. This allows the regular trainee set a particular training schedules like after office hour, Saturday or even Sunday or holiday especially if the regular trainee is an employee. Moreover, there is a training system that GCBTC is implemented to all regular trainees called the Multiple Entry, Multiple Exit. This system allows the learners to enter and exit training programs at different times and levels and to receive an award for modules (competencies) attained at any point.◙
