[3] The 2010 Secondary Education Curriculum allocates 240 minutes per week for CP-TLE, which is equivalent to 1.2 units.
However, CP-TLE is required to include practical work experience in the community, which may extend beyond its specified school hours.
Five common competencies, based on the training regulations of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), are covered in the exploratory phase (Grades 7 and 8): mensuration and calculation, technical drafting, use of tools and equipment, maintenance of tools and equipment, and occupational health and safety.
The Entrepreneurship Education-based TLE is focused on the learning of some livelihood skills every quarter, so that the student may be equipped to start a small household enterprise with family members.
[6] §− The 2010 Secondary Education Curriculum expanded the CP-TLE to include additional special curricular programs.
