Ten Years of Competency-Based Training: The Experience of Accredited Training Providers in Australia.

Smith, Erica

International Journal of Training and Development, v3 n2 p106-17 Jun 1999

A 1995 Australian study found adoption of competency-based training (CBT) in technical and further education was much slower than planned. A 1997 study revealed wide variation in CBT implementation. Over 10 years the system is becoming workable but it is not yet evident whether it is improving the skills of the work force. (SK)
