THREE-PHASE EDUCATIONAL MODEL NLC created the Three-Phase Educational Model™ based on wellresearched educational theories. Using this model as the basis for all training in the PTE Program, each academic course, skill competency, and behavior expectation fits directly into one of the three educational phases: Knowledge, Skill, or Behavior.
KNOWLEDGE PHASE

The Knowledge phase addresses cognitive, or intellectual, activities. Engaging learners at the highest cognitive level occurs in both classroom and lab settings. Developing knowledge involves the recall or recognition of specific facts, procedural patterns, and concepts that help develop intellectual abilities and skills.
SKILL PHASE The Skill phase is the “hands-on” part of training. This is where learners practice their knowledge using established training methods first demonstrated by trainers. After learners build fluency in each competency through practice, they are rated for proficiency. The Skill phase offers PTE candidates the opportunity to turn new knowledge into effective habits tailored to their individual work environments.
BEHAVIOR PHASE

Along with knowledge and skill, positive behavior is key to training an audience. For this reason, the Behavior phase focuses on safety, the trainer’s role, professionalism, and attitude, to help PTE candidates develop steadfast reputations for being mature, reliable, safe, and capable.
