Competency-Based Training (CBT)

Competency-based training (CBT) is an approach to vocational education and training that places emphasis on what a person can do in the workplace as a result of completing a program of training.

Competence is often defined as a combination of awareness, skills, knowledge and attitude that enables an individual to perform a job effectively to the standards required for successful job performance.

Staying in business means an organization must continually provide a service or product, at an acceptable cost, that fits the needs of its customers!

In order to accomplish this goal we must ensure that we have employees who can safely, effectively and efficiently perform their assigned jobs. Of course that leads us to the competence-based training and development, because people are one of an organization's most valuable assets. This will ensure that the organization has the right people, with the right skills, at the right time, to accomplish their business objectives.

Competence-based programs are used to increase employees' current job performance, prepare them for changing job requirements or introduce new tools or technology in the work place. Since these 'competencies' are derived from actual job requirements, the role of line managers is critical to the creation and implementation of the program.
