As the name implies, competency-based training is a type of training that is focused on specific competencies or skills. Unlike other more traditional training methods, competency-based training is broken down into much smaller units that are focused on one single key skill. The learner must demonstrate his or her mastery of that single skill or competency before continuing to the next segment of training. The skills are put together into modules and typically at the end the learner receives some form of qualification or certification. This type of training may also be called outcome-based learning/training or skills-based learning/training.
