Learning Objectives:
1. Plan the activities of each trainee using the training activity matrix
2. Prepare training facilities and resources for training sessions
Training Facilities/Resources
In this section we will discuss how you will prepare the training facilities and resources for your
sessions for ease of access and use.
Your shop layout specified locations for your CBT areas and the learning stations for each
competency. Resources were also specified in your Job Sheets. These are your reference materials in
preparing them for your training sessions. Since your trainees are working with different competencies
at the same time, you should design a way such that materials needed by trainees for their learning
activities can easily be accessed. This is the reason why each instructional sheet should have a list of
training Facilities and Resources. This will be the main basis for the preparation of training materials
for the day or the session.
Proper scheduling and management is the answer for the use of limited equipment. The
trainer should therefore schedule training activities based on both current competencies of trainees
and the availability of training resources making sure that no trainee is idle.
The following Training Activity Matrix is recommended to schedule and monitor the use of the
facilities and resources. This Training Activity Matrix should work hand in hand with your session plan.
The session plan is a plan for the whole qualification and for trainees with different learning styles
while the training activity matrix is a daily plan which will show the activities of each trainee.
This Matrix is a monitoring tool of trainees’ activities for the trainer. The Vocational Instruction
Supervisor and the administrators may also look for this matrix when monitoring competency based
trainings. This matrix, along with a well-prepared session plan, is a good indicator that the training
being implemented is using the CBT approach. The trainer may print a copy of this plan or he may keep
it to his computer. It is recommended that this matrix is updated daily.
1. Write the training activities for the session based on training needs and on trainee’s chosen
competency.
2. Based on the instructional sheet needed in the activity (Job Sheet, Task Sheet, and
Information Sheet) list down the facilities/Tools and Equipment needed for the activity. The
inventory of training supplies, tools, equipment and facilities is very useful when planning
for the activities of trainees in a class.
3. Instructional Sheet number should be specific.
4. Trainees should not be crowding in a workstation/area. Limit the number of trainees to 5
and below per work station/learning area.
5. Ensure full utilization of equipment/work area. Avoid limited number of equipment’s to be
idle to prevent crowding of trainees.
6. Date and time of use should be specified.
7. Remarks should be made on the activity of each trainee. This will be your guide in planning
for the activities of your trainees the next sessions. You may include the following remarks
“for assessment”, “to be assisted by (name of a peer mentor)”, “needs more practice of Job
Sheet #” and any other comments pertaining to the training of each trainee.
8. The number workstations will vary depending on the number of workstations in the CBT
Layout. Number of workstations may also be dependent on the number of mock-ups per
competency.
