Abstract:

There is a rapidly increasing interest in competency-based programs in education (CBE) and training (CBT) within many countries. This paper outlines the interest shown in Australia, analyses the main features of the CBE/T model and explores some of the potential advantages for students, educators, administrators and employers. It highlights the importance of careful planning in the implementation of such programs.
