What is Competency Standard?
TESDA develops competency standards for
middle-level skilled workers. These are in the
form of units of competency containing
descriptors for acceptable work performance.
These
are
packaged
into
qualifications
corresponding to critical jobs and occupations in
the priority industry sectors. The qualifications
correspond to a specific level in the Philippine
TVET Qualifications Framework (PTQF)..
What is Competency Standard?
The competency standards and qualifications,
together with training standards and assessment
arrangements comprise the national training
regulations (TR) promulgated by the TESDA
Board. The TRs serve as basis for registration and
delivery of TVET programs, competency
assessment and certification and development of
curricula for the specific qualification.
Competency standards compose a different unit of competency
which aims to:
1. Describing a work activity:
 Each unit of competency breaks down a specific job or task into smaller, manageable components.
 These components clearly outline the essential skills, knowledge, and attitudes required to perform
the activity effectively.
 This detailed description serves as a roadmap for both learners and trainers, ensuring everyone
understands the expected performance level.
Competency standards compose a different unit of competency
which aims to:
2. Guiding trainer assessment of learner competency:
 The unit of competency acts as a benchmark against which the trainer can measure the learner's
progress and ultimately determine their competence.
 It lays out specific performance criteria that the learner must meet to demonstrate mastery of the
activity.
 These criteria might involve practical demonstrations, knowledge tests, or observations of workplace
behavior.
 By referencing the clear performance criteria, trainers can conduct objective and consistent
assessments, ensuring fairness and ensuring the learner possesses the necessary skills and knowledge for
the job.
