What Are Competencies?

A competency is a statement about the skills, knowledge and attitudes a learner needs to complete and these statements are contained in each UNIT. Each UNIT is often made up of several ELEMENTS.

The assessment of your competency means that you must be able to “Show, Tell and Apply” evidence and skills, which match and meet these units and elements against a set of key performance competencies and nationally set standards. This could include:

• Collecting, analysing and organising information
• Communicating ideas and information
• Planning and organising activities and tasks
• Working with others in teams
• Leading teams
• Using mathematical ideas and technological tools
• Solving problems
• Demonstrating understanding
