What is Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC)?

 A competency-based curriculum is a framework or guide for the

subsequent detailed development of competencies, associated
methodologies, training and assessment resources.

 The CBC specifies the outcomes which are consistent with the
requirements of the workplace as agreed through the industry or
community consultations.

 CBC can be developed immediately when competency standards exist.

 When competency standards do not exist, curriculum developers need

to clearly define the learning outcomes to be attained. The standard of
performance required must be appropriate to industry and occupational
needs through the industry/enterprise or specified client group
consultations.

These materials are available in both printed and electronic copies.
