ASAI TRAINING SCHEME

ASAI TRAINING SCHEME

The New ASAI is basically an information sharing team. This is based on the concept of learning and application of knowledge in the performance of skills and competencies in the  automotive industry.

Standards of performance of automotive workers are usually based on the Philippine National Skills Standards under the TESDA Trainng Regulations for the Automotive trade. Under the new scheme of learning at ASAI, an automotive skilled worker becomes a technician whose major competence is searching for knowledge through the net and discussions with supervisors. Discussing with the supervisors on how a job is to be done and apply the correct procedures is a major step in the process. It is important that a technician performs 100% quality work to ensure costumer satisfaction of the performance of the service center.

The training scheme starts from the intent, need and passion to share information, knowledge and skills of the owner or management of an automotive service center. This intent can be translated into action to conduct a work-based learning  program inside the work place under the processes of the Department of Labor and Employment, Technology - driven system of DOST. Likewise, the Industry standards of the Department of Trade and Industry  and competency-based system of TESDA be applied in the Technician learning scheme of ASAI

The interested ASAI member shall be encouraged to become a training venue for one specific area of core competency, such as perform diesel engine tune-up.

Another ASAI member may allow to be the training venue for gas engine tune-up. And a third member can be a venue for auto electrical ignition system. Until all the core competencies can have a training and assessment venue. The ASAI Technical Management team shall track the progress of each learner and how the trainee performs in the training venue as per core competency listed in the TESDA training regulations.

This means that the network of venues of ASAI can contribute to the development of worker technician of specific competencies.

An ASAI member company may opt to accept 2 or 3 trainees based on the request of the trainees where it is perceived that the learner needs further learning.

As each competency can be learned in a few hours, a learner may not stay beyond the prescribed training hours in an ASAI venue as per TESDA Training Regulations and competency accomplishment chart of ASAI

It is also important to note that the  basic and common competencies can be acquired outside of a training venue under the recognition of prior learning scheme and dual training system approaches.

The ASAI training center can be the central information system hub where the learner makes a self-assessment of skills and competencies acquired in the training venues and outside of the workstation.

This system is ASAI industry –based and can run parallel in a school-based or center-based system of instruction. This system, however, is superior in approach to training and higher competency acquisition in view of the availability of shop floor trainors with specific and limited time of training engagement.
