What are Competency Standards?
National standards define the competencies required for effective performance in the workplace. A competency comprises the specification of knowledge and skill and the application of that knowledge and skill at an industry level, to the standard of performance required in employment. Competency standards can be either industry or enterprise based. Included on the NTIS are details of Competency Standards developed by industry. The standards are linked to industry sectors and courses, where the course has been based on the standards. Competency standards can be downloaded from the database or can be purchased from the relevant Industry Training Advisory Body.
