Competency Based Training Methodology

ANTP has been introducing competency-based training (CBT) concept since year 2000. Inyear 2003, the competency-based training methodology was further enhanced and formalized in all of ANTP’s training programs. This is to ensure that all our course participants acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to perform a particular work role to the standard required within industry.

The CBT Methodology was derived based on five essential elements of a CBT system:

• Competencies to be achieved are carefully identified, verified and made public
   in advance.
• Criteria to be used in assessing achievement and the conditions under which
   achievement will be assessed are explicitly stated.
• The instructional program provides for the individual development and
   evaluation of each of the competencies specified.
• Assessment of competency takes the participant’s knowledge and attitudes
   into account but requires actual performance of the competency as the primary
   source of evidence.
• Participants progress through the instructional program at their own rate by
   demonstrating the attainment of the specified competencies.

THE KEY PROCESS
Determine the CBT Methodology

The approach to design competency standard needs to be strategically aligned with the business strategy, and linking competency systems directly to work outputs, customer requirements and performance goals.

There are four key processes used by ANTP when designing the competency-based training methodology.

Identification
• Identify the specific skills, knowledge and attitudes that will form the basis of a
   competency-based training course.
• Identify the conditions under which the skills must be demonstrated.

Development
• Develop the criteria or standards to which the skills must be performed.
• Develop competency-based learning guides and reference manuals.
• Develop model & training objectives which outline what the participant must do
   in order to master the skills.
• Develop course outlines and syllabus which match a variety of training
   methods and supporting media to course objectives.

Experiment
• Confirm the competency standard with experts within the industry.
• Roll out the competency training and monitor the progress and results.
• Evaluate the training delivery.
• Make recommendations for improvements & refinement.

Refinement
• Refine and enhance the training program, contents and methodology based
   on the post-training evaluation.
• Continue to monitor the progress and conduct evaluation to ensure that
   ANTP’s training is effective and leads to real changes in performance
   in workplace.

BUILDING COMPETENCIES
Maximizing Job Performance

Pre-training
• Administration of a pre-course questionnaire to assess the participants’
   knowledge and attitudes about course content.
• This assessment is to ensure participants possess the entry level skills to
   complete the course successfully as well as determine the level of their skills.

During Training
• Delivery of the course by a trainer / facilitator using an interactive and
   participatory approach.
• Transfer of skills from the trainer to the participants through mentoring and
   counseling skill demonstrations using slide sets, videotapes, models and role
   plays.
• Development of the participants’ skills using a humanistic approach, which
   means participants acquire the skill and then practice until competent using
   different models and role plays.
• Practice of the skills following the steps in the learning guide until the
   participant becomes competent at performing the skillful.

Post Training
• Evaluation of each participant’s performance is done by the trainer using
   competency-based checklists.
• Presentation of a statement of qualification that identifies the specific
   service the individual is qualified to provide.

GAIN A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
The “ANTP” Approach

ANTP’s training methodology maximizes the application of the hands-on workshop content. Sessions include practice exercises, discussions to relate exercises to real situations, structured work between workshops and participants’ progress reports of their own organization building activities.
