What is Competency-Based Curriculum (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.
