What is Competency-Based Curriculum?

 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.
