The document discusses competency-based training (CBT), which is a training approach where trainees learn skills at their own pace by demonstrating mastery of specific competencies. It identifies 10 principles of CBT, including that training is based on competency standards and assessment is based on evidence of work performance. The roles of CBT trainers include managing learning activities while trainees take responsibility for their own learning. Competencies are divided into basic, common and core competencies. Learning materials and facilities to support CBT are also outlined, along with methods for competency assessment.
