HOW TO USE THIS COMPETENCY-BASED LEARNING
MODULE
Welcome to the Module USING HAND TOOLS. This module contains
training materials and activities for you to complete.
The unit of competency USE HAND TOOLS is one of the Common
Competencies which contains the knowledge, skills and attitudes required
for all the programs offered by all TESDA-Institutes in Region 02.
You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to
complete each learning outcome of the module. In each learning outcome
there are Information Sheets, Resource Sheets and Reference Materials for
further reading to help you better understand the required activities. Follow
these activities on your own and answer the self-check at the end of each
learning outcome. Get the answer key from your trainer and check your work
honestly. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to ask him/her for
assistance.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
You may already have some or most of the knowledge and skills covered in
this module because you have:

Been working in the same industry for some time.

Already completed training in this area.
If you can demonstrate to your trainer that you are competent in a
particular skill or skills, talk to him/her about having them formally
recognized so you won’t have to do the same training again. If you have
qualifications or Certificates of Competency from previous trainings, show
them to your trainer. If the skills you acquired are still relevant to this
module, they may become part of the evidence you can present for RPL.
A Learner’s Record Book (LRB) is given to you to record important
dates, jobs undertaken and other workplace events that will assist you in
providing further details to your trainer/assessor.
A Record of
Achievement/Progress Chart is also provided to your trainer to
complete/accomplish once you have completed the module. This will show
your own progress.

DIRECTION FOR USE OF THE CBLM
This module was prepared to help you achieve the required competency:
USE HAND TOOLS. This will be the source of information for you to acquire
the knowledge and skills in this particular module with minimum supervision
or help from your trainer. With the aid of this material, you will acquire the
competency independently and at your own pace.
Talk to your trainer and agree on how you will both organize the training
of this unit. Read through the module carefully. It is divided into sections
which covers all the skills and knowledge you need to successfully complete
in this module.
Work through all the information sheets and complete the activities in
each section. Do what is asked in the INSTRUCTIONAL SHEETS and complete
the SELF-CHECK. Suggested references are included to supplement the
materials provided in this module.
Most probably, your trainer will also be your supervisor or manager.
He/she is there to support you and show you the correct way to do things.
Ask for help.
Your trainer will tell you about the important things you need to
consider when you are completing activities and it is important that you listen
and take notes.
Talk to more experienced workmates and ask for their guidance.
Use the self-check questions at the end of each section to test your own
progress.
When you are ready, ask your trainer to watch you perform the
activities outlined in the module.
As you work through the activities, ask for written feedback on your
progress. Your trainer gives feedback/pre-assessment reports for this reason.
When you have successfully completed each element or learning outcome, ask
your trainer to mark on the reports that you are ready for assessment.
When you have completed this module and feel confident that you have had
sufficient practice, your trainer will schedule you for the institutional
assessment. The result of your assessment/evaluation will be recorded in
your COMPETENCY ACHIEVEMENT RECORD.
