What isCompetency-BasedCurriculum(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 materialsare availablein bothprinted and electronic copies.

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 materialsare availablein bothprinted and electronic copies.
