Competency Based Training Methodology

NTP World Forum has been introducing competency-based training (CBT) concept since year 2000. In year 2003, the competency-based training methodology was further enhanced and formalized in all of NTP’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:

Determined 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 4 key processes used by NTP World Forum 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.
