Competency-Based Training
Learning Objectives
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. define Competency-Based Training;
2. enumerate and explain the ten principles of CBT;
Competency-Based Training
• It is a training delivery approach that focuses on the competency development of the
learner as a result of the training;
• Emphasizes most on what the learner can actually do;
• Focuses on outcomes rather than the learning process within specified time;
• It is concerned with the attainment and application of knowledge, skills and attitude to a
specific level of competency.
In CBT, the education and training system should begin and end with the customer needs.
Competency
Competency involves applying knowledge, skills and attitudes to perform work activities to the
standard expected in the workplace.
Competencies are gained through:
• life experience
• formal education
• apprenticeship
• on-the-job experience
• self-help programs
• training and development programs
1) Task Skills
• This requires performance of the task[s] to the required standard as
described in the unit of competency and expected in the workplace.
• Trainer needs to provide activities to develop individual actions as well as the whole
task.
4) Job/Role Environment
• The requirement to deal with the responsibilities and expectations of the work
environment.
• The capacity to work with others and adapt to different situations is central to
successful performance
• Does the trainee comply with workplace procedures and standard methods in
performing the task?
• Does the trainee communicate effectively?
• Does the trainee observe enterprise and regulatory requirements?
Ten (10) Principles of CBT
1) The training is based on curriculum developed from the competency standards.
Learning is based on the Competency-based Curriculum
The Competency Standard (CS) is the written specification of the knowledge, skills and
attitudes and values required for the performance of a job, occupation or trade and the
corresponding standard of performance required for these in the workplace.
The industry workers identify these standards and are promulgated by the Technical
Education and Skills Development Authority in the Training Regulations (TR).
The Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) is derived from the Competency Standards. It
is a plan for structured series of learning experiences toward achieving of competencies
identified by the industry; it details training methodologies, resources, facilities,
infrastructure and other materials required both for training and assessment strategies.
As trainers, you should provide activities that will allow each trainee to
advance on his own without waiting for the other trainees in his class to finish.
Facilities, resources and materials should also be structured so that trainees could
learn competencies at their own pace.
5) Training materials are directly related to the competency standards and the curriculum.
CS CBC LMs
The Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) will be your guide to plan for both
training and assessment of your trainees. Your learning materials should be
developed to attain the assessment criteria in the CBC.
Traditional CBTVET
Students are judged Each Student is assessed
against each other (norm against the evidences
referenced Assessment based on standard
7) Training is based on and off the job components and off the job components.
CBT focuses on the competencies that are not yet acquired by the trainee in any
learning situation. Competencies acquired as a result of previous training, employment
and life experiences should be recognized so that trainees will not waste time doing the
learning activities of the competencies that they already have. It is one of your task to
identify these prior learning of your trainees and plan for the training of each trainee
based on this data.
9) The system allows for learner to enter and exit programs at different times and levels
and to receive an award for competencies attained at any point.
Any program offered in TVET should be registered with the Unified TVET Program
Registration and Accreditation System (UTPRAS). This covers the following:
Dimensions of competency
1) Task Skills
2) Task Management Skills
3) Contingency Managements Skills
4) Job/Role
