INTRODUCTION

Modern organizations require training programs that go beyond attendance, content delivery, and general knowledge transfer. Competency-Based Training Design focuses on developing the specific skills, behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes required for effective workplace performance.

Participants will learn how to create structured training programs that help employees demonstrate capability in real work contexts. The program combines strategic thinking with practical instructional design methods suitable for organizations of different sizes and sectors. By the end of the course, participants will be prepared to design training solutions that produce measurable learning outcomes and sustainable performance improvement.
