Competency-Based Training (CBT)

Competency-based training (CBT) is an educational and training approach that focuses on developing specific skills, abilities, and knowledge required for a particular job, task, or role.

The goal of CBT is to ensure that individuals are not only knowledgeable but also capable of effectively performing tasks and duties in real-world contexts.

Key characteristics of competency-based training include:
It is a training that can be recommended even for a beginner who has no experience for the job concerned.

Outcome-Oriented: CBT is driven by clearly defined learning outcomes or competencies that individuals are expected to achieve. These outcomes are specific, measurable, and directly related to the skills and abilities required for success in a particular field or job role.

Assessment of Competencies: Assessment methods in CBT focus on evaluating whether learners can apply their knowledge and skills effectively to solve real-world problems or perform job-related tasks. These assessments are often practical and performance-based.

Industry Relevance: CBT programs are designed in close alignment with industry standards and requirements. This ensures that graduates are well-prepared to meet the demands of the job market.
