What is Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC )

 A competency-based curriculum is a framework or guide for the subsequent detailed development of competencies,
associated mythologies, 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.
