Benchmarks to assess the knowledge, skills and attitudes required by an individual in order to perform in the workplace. These benchmarks are combined together to form units of competencies.
An industry-determined specification of performance, which sets out the skills, knowledge and attitudes required to operate effectively in employment. In vocational education and training, competency standards are made up of units of competency, which are themselves made up of elements of competency, together with performance criteria, a range of variables, and an evidence guide. Competency standards are an endorsed component of a training package.
Statement developed by industry specifying the competencies required by workers for each sector of the workforce.
