KSA stands for Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities. It is an acronym used to define the qualifications needed to perform a specific job. A KSA is a detailed list that describes the knowledge, skills, and abilities a person needs, as well as their ability to apply their knowledge and skills to perform job tasks to set standards in various workplace situations. Training can help develop skills and increase abilities, but attitudes are formed over a person's lifetime based on their values, beliefs, and experiences. Knowledge is defined as organized factual information needed to adequately perform a job, skills refer to expertise in manual, mental, or verbal tasks developed through training and practice, and competency is the combination of abilities, knowledge, and skills
