The document discusses the concept of competency in training. It defines competency as the skills, knowledge, and attitudes demonstrated through effective job performance, problem solving, communication, and other abilities that develop over a person's career. Competency-based training focuses on assessing performance and applying skills rather than cognitive knowledge.

The domains of competency include educational, administrative, and professional competencies related to teaching skills, managing training programs, and technical job skills and knowledge.
