The project reported in this overview sought to determine the ways in which competency based training (CBT) had contributed to the development of an Australian workforce that is adaptable and flexible. Data were gathered from respondents involved in two industries (metals and hospitality) in two states (Victoria and Queensland). Analyses of these data were used to identify the impact of the introduction of CBT on curriculum, assessment and instructor’s practice, and to determine the educational worth of CBT in realising government policy goals. This overview document comprises a set of findings arising from the investigation, a synopsis of the study, a brief overview of the rationale for the investigation and the means by which it was conducted. It also provides a summary of findings and recommendations for future policy and practice.
