Statement on competency-based training

Competency based training is an approach to vocational education and training that places emphasis on what you can do in the workplace as a result of completing a program or training. 

In the context of the Certificate IV in Justice, the training is influenced by competency standards that are industry-determined requirements for performance in justice related workplaces.  The competencies start with well-defined learning outcomes and set out the skills knowledge and attitudes required to work effectively in justice settings. Competency standards are made up of units of competency, which are themselves made up of elements of competency, together with performance criteria. Competency standards are an endorsed component of a training package.  

To be assessed as competent you need to demonstrate the ability to perform tasks and duties to the standard expected in employment.

Employability Skills

In addition to developing skills and knowledge for a particular job, this program also aims to help you to develop broad work skills, known as Employability Skills. There are eight employability skills:

  • Communication
  • Teamwork
  • Problem solving
  • Initiative and enterprise
  • Planning and organising
  • Self-management
  • Learning
  • Technology

Employability skills are “embedded” in the units of competency in your program. When you demonstrate that you are competent in your particular job skills and knowledge, you are also demonstrating that you have developed relevant employability skills.
