What Is Competency-based Training?

Competency-based Training (CBT) is a type of education based on "competencies" used to develop valuable skills in individuals focusing on outcomes and real-world performance.

This kind of training requires a well-designed and robust framework. Competency frameworks base their core on key competencies (skills, knowledge, behaviours, etc) that help employees to be effective in doing their job.

What are the benefits of competency-based training?

  • Cost-effective
  • Efficiency
  • Adaptability and flexibility
  • Personalised to the needs of the company and the employee
  • Big success rates
  • Engaging because it is challenging in a good way
  • Increase in internal employee mobility within the company thanks to the possibility of cross-training
