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.

These materials are available in both printed and electronic copies.
