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.
