  • Taking ownership of work-The goal of each class shouldn’t just be available to teachers. Instead, both parents and students should be clear about the learning objectives.

  • Emphasizes the competencies that a learner must master at the end of a program rather than focusing on what a trainer should teach. Thus, learning outcomes are organised in the best way so as to bring learners to an expected level.
  • Gives meaning to learning outcomes, showing what purposes everything learnt during the program has. It moves beyond lists of content subjects for memorization – it trains learners to continuously relate the learning to situations and to utilise their acquisitions in these situations.
  • It is a matter of verifying and validating the participants achievements in terms of resolving concrete situations, not the sum of knowledge and know-how that the learner often hastens to forget, and which he may not know how to use in professional situations.

Benefits of Competency Based Education for Students

  1. Flexible: Competency based programs are very flexible as their structure depends on the individual learner
  2. Skills-based: One of the key benefits of CBE is that learning centers on real-world skills and competency development. Programs are designed around competencies that are needed for a particular career ensuring that the material is relevant.
  3. Affordable: since many CBE programs are offered online and leverage technology, operating costs are eliminated resulting in lower tuition fees.
  4. Engaging: One of the strongest outcomes of competency based education is increased student engagement. Students are more engaged in the material because they have ownership over their learning.
