Competency Based Training (CBT) and


assessment – An introduction for trainers
Competency
Competency refers to the ability to perform particular tasks and duties to the standard of
performance expected in the workplace.
Competency requires the application of specified knowledge, skills and attitudes relevant
to effective participation, consistently over time and in the workplace environment.
The essential skills and knowledge are either identified separately or combined.
Knowledge identifies what a person needs to know to perform the work in an informed
and effective manner.
Skills describe the application of knowledge to situations where understanding is
converted into a workplace outcome.
Attitude describes the founding reasons behind the need for certain knowledge or why
skills are performed in a specified manner.
Competency covers all aspects of workplace performance and involves:
 Performing individual tasks
 Managing a range of different tasks
 Responding to contingencies or breakdowns
 Dealing with the responsibilities of the workplace
 Working with others.

Unit of competency

Like with any training qualification or program, a range of subject topics are identified that
focus on the ability in a certain work area, responsibility or function.
Each manual focuses on a specific unit of competency that applies in the hospitality
workplace.
In this manual a unit of competency is identified as a ‘unit’.
Each unit of competency identifies a discrete workplace requirement and includes:
 Knowledge and skills that underpin competency
 Language, literacy and numeracy
 Occupational safety and health requirements.
Each unit of competency must be adhered to in training and assessment to ensure
consistency of outcomes.

Competency Based Training (CBT) and assessment – An introduction for trainers

Element of competency

An element of competency describes the essential outcomes within a unit of competency.


The elements of competency are the basic building blocks of the unit of competency.
They describe in terms of outcomes the significant functions and tasks that make up the
competency.
In this manual elements of competency are identified as an ‘element’.

Performance criteria

Performance criteria indicate the standard of performance that is required to demonstrate


achievement within an element of competency. The standards reflect identified industry
skill needs.
Performance criteria will be made up of certain specified skills, knowledge and attitudes.

Learning

For the purpose of this manual learning incorporates two key activities:
 Training
 Assessment.
Both of these activities will be discussed in detail in this introduction.
Today training and assessment can be delivered in a variety of ways. It may be provided
to participants:
 On-the-job – in the workplace
 Off-the-job – at an educational institution or dedicated training environment
 As a combination of these two options.
No longer is it necessary for learners to be absent from the workplace for long periods of
time in order to obtain recognised and accredited qualifications.

Learning approaches

This manual will identify two avenues to facilitate learning:


Competency Based Training (CBT)
This is the strategy of developing a participant’s competency.
Educational institutions utilise a range of training strategies to ensure that participants are
able to gain the knowledge and skills required for successful:
 Completion of the training program or qualification
 Implementation in the workplace.
The strategies selected should be chosen based on suitability and the learning styles of
participants.

2 Trainer Guide
Implement event management systems and procedures
Competency Based Training (CBT) and assessment – An introduction for trainers

Competency Based Assessment (CBA)

This is the strategy of assessing competency of a participant.


Educational institutions utilise a range of assessment strategies to ensure that
participants are assessed in a manner that demonstrates validity, fairness, reliability,
flexibility and fairness of assessment processes.

Flexibility in learning

It is important to note that flexibility in training and assessment strategies is required to


meet the needs of participants who may have learning difficulties. The strategies used will
vary, taking into account the needs of individual participants with learning difficulties.
However they will be applied in a manner which does not discriminate against the
participant or the participant body as a whole.
Catering for participant diversity
Participants have diverse backgrounds, needs and interests. When planning training and
assessment activities to cater for individual differences, trainers and assessors should:
 Consider individuals’ experiences, learning styles and interests
 Develop questions and activities that are aimed at different levels of ability
 Modify the expectations for some participants
 Provide opportunities for a variety of forms of participation, such as individual, pair and
small group activities
 Assess participants based on individual progress and outcomes.
The diversity among participants also provides a good reason for building up a learning
community in which participants support each other’s learning.
Participant centred learning
This involves taking into account structuring training and assessment that:
 Builds on strengths – Training environments need to demonstrate the many positive
features of local participants (such as the attribution of academic success to effort,
and the social nature of achievement motivation) and of their trainers (such as a
strong emphasis on subject disciplines and moral responsibility). These strengths and
uniqueness of local participants and trainers should be acknowledged and treasured
 Acknowledges prior knowledge and experience – The learning activities should be
planned with participants’ prior knowledge and experience in mind
 Understands learning objectives – Each learning activity should have clear learning
objectives and participants should be informed of them at the outset. Trainers should
also be clear about the purpose of assignments and explain their significance to
participants
 Teaches for understanding – The pedagogies chosen should aim at enabling
participants to act and think flexibly with what they know
 Teaches for independent learning – Generic skills and reflection should be nurtured
through learning activities in appropriate contexts of the curriculum. Participants
should be encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning

Trainer Guide 3
Implement event management systems and procedures
Competency Based Training (CBT) and assessment – An introduction for trainers

 Enhances motivation – Learning is most effective when participants are motivated.


Various strategies should be used to arouse the interest of participants
 Makes effective use of resources – A variety of teaching resources can be employed
as tools for learning
 Maximises engagement – In conducting learning activities, it is important for the minds
of participants to be actively engaged
 Aligns assessment with learning and teaching – Feedback and assessment should be
an integral part of learning and teaching
 Caters for learner diversity – Trainers should be aware that participants have different
characteristics and strengths and try to nurture these rather than impose a standard
set of expectations.
Active learning
The goal of nurturing independent learning in participants does not imply that they always
have to work in isolation or solely in a classroom. On the contrary, the construction of
knowledge in tourism and hospitality studies can often best be carried out in collaboration
with others in the field. Sharing experiences, insights and views on issues of common
concern, and working together to collect information through conducting investigative
studies in the field (active learning) can contribute a lot to their eventual success.
Active learning has an important part to play in fostering a sense of community in the
class. First, to operate successfully, a learning community requires an ethos of
acceptance and a sense of trust among participants, and between them and their trainers.
Trainers can help to foster acceptance and trust through encouragement and personal
example, and by allowing participants to take risks as they explore and articulate their
views, however immature these may appear to be. Participants also come to realise that
their classmates (and their trainers) are partners in learning and solving.
Trainers can also encourage cooperative learning by designing appropriate group
learning tasks, which include, for example, collecting background information, conducting
small-scale surveys, or producing media presentations on certain issues and themes.
Participants need to be reminded that, while they should work towards successful
completion of the field tasks, developing positive peer relationships in the process is an
important objective of all group work.

Competency Based Training (CBT)

Principle of Competency Based Training


Competency based training is aimed at developing the knowledge, skills and attitudes of
participants, through a variety of training tools.
Training strategies
The aims of this curriculum are to enable participants to:
 Undertake a variety of subject courses that are relevant to industry in the current
environment
 Learn current industry skills, information and trends relevant to industry
 Learn through a range of practical and theoretical approaches
 Be able to identify, explore and solve issues in a productive manner

© ASEAN 2015
4 Trainer Guide
Implement event management systems and procedures
Competency Based Training (CBT) and assessment – An introduction for trainers

 Be able to become confident, equipped and flexible managers of the future


 Be ‘job ready’ and a valuable employee in the industry upon graduation of any
qualification level.
To ensure participants are able to gain the knowledge and skills required to meet
competency in each unit of competency in the qualification, a range of training delivery
modes are used.
Types of training
In choosing learning and teaching strategies, trainers should take into account the
practical, complex and multi-disciplinary nature of the subject area, as well as their
participant’s prior knowledge, learning styles and abilities.
Training outcomes can be attained by utilising one or more delivery methods:
Lecture/tutorial
This is a common method of training involving transfer of information from the trainer to
the participants. It is an effective approach to introduce new concepts or information to the
learners and also to build upon the existing knowledge. The listener is expected to reflect
on the subject and seek clarifications on the doubts.
Demonstration
Demonstration is a very effective training method that involves a trainer showing a
participant how to perform a task or activity. Through a visual demonstration, trainers may
also explain reasoning behind certain actions or provide supplementary information to
help facilitate understanding.
Group discussions
Brainstorming in which all the members in a group express their ideas, views and
opinions on a given topic. It is a free flow and exchange of knowledge among the
participants and the trainer. The discussion is carried out by the group on the basis of
their own experience, perceptions and values. This will facilitate acquiring new
knowledge. When everybody is expected to participate in the group discussion, even the
introverted persons will also get stimulated and try to articulate their feelings.
The ideas that emerge in the discussions should be noted down and presentations are to
be made by the groups. Sometimes consensus needs to be arrived at on a given topic.
Group discussions are to be held under the moderation of a leader guided by the trainer.
Group discussion technique triggers thinking process, encourages interactions and
enhances communication skills.
Role play
This is a common and very effective method of bringing into the classroom real life
situations, which may not otherwise be possible. Participants are made to enact a
particular role so as to give a real feel of the roles they may be called upon to play. This
enables participants to understand the behaviour of others as well as their own emotions
and feelings. The instructor must brief the role players on what is expected of them. The
role player may either be given a ready-made script, which they can memorise and enact,
or they may be required to develop their own scripts around a given situation. This
technique is extremely useful in understanding creative selling techniques and human
relations. It can be entertaining and energising and it helps the reserved and less literate
to express their feelings.

Competency Based Training (CBT) and assessment – An introduction for trainers

Simulation games
When trainees need to become aware of something that they have not been conscious of,
simulations can be a useful mechanism. Simulation games are a method based on "here
and now" experience shared by all the participants. The games focus on the participation
of the trainees and their willingness to share their ideas with others. A "near real life"
situation is created providing an opportunity to which they apply themselves by adopting
certain behaviour. They then experience the impact of their behaviour on the situation. It
is carried out to generate responses and reactions based on the real feelings of the
participants, which are subsequently analysed by the trainer.
While use of simulation games can result in very effective learning, it needs considerable
trainer competence to analyse the situations.
Individual /group exercises
Exercises are often introduced to find out how much the participant has assimilated. This
method involves imparting instructions to participants on a particular subject through use
of written exercises. In the group exercises, the entire class is divided into small groups,
and members are asked to collaborate to arrive at a consensus or solution to a problem.
Case study
This is a training method that enables the trainer and the participant to experience a real
life situation. It may be on account of events in the past or situations in the present, in
which there may be one or more problems to be solved and decisions to be taken. The
basic objective of a case study is to help participants diagnose, analyse and/or solve a
particular problem and to make them internalise the critical inputs delivered in the training.
Questions are generally given at the end of the case study to direct the participants and to
stimulate their thinking towards possible solutions. Studies may be presented in written or
verbal form.
Field visit
This involves a carefully planned visit or tour to a place of learning or interest. The idea is
to give first-hand knowledge by personal observation of field situations, and to relate
theory with practice. The emphasis is on observing, exploring, asking questions and
understanding. The trainer should remember to brief the participants about what they
should observe and about the customs and norms that need to be respected.
Group presentation
The participants are asked to work in groups and produce the results and findings of their
group work to the members of another sub-group. By this method participants get a good
picture of each other's views and perceptions on the topic and they are able to compare
them with their own point of view. The pooling and sharing of findings enriches the
discussion and learning process.
Practice sessions
This method is of paramount importance for skills training. Participants are provided with
an opportunity to practice in a controlled situation what they have learnt. It could be real
life or through a make-believe situation.

Games
This is a group process and includes those methods that involve usually fun-based
activity, aimed at conveying feelings and experiences, which are everyday in nature, and
applying them within the game being played. A game has set rules and regulations, and
may or may not include a competitive element. After the game is played, it is essential
that the participants be debriefed and their lessons and experiences consolidated by the
trainer.
Research
Trainers may require learners to undertake research activities, including online research,
to gather information or further understanding about a specific subject area.

Competency Based Assessment (CBA)

Principle of Competency Based Assessment


Competency based assessment is aimed at compiling a list of evidence that shows that a
person is competent in a particular unit of competency.
Competencies are gained through a multitude of ways including:
 Training and development programs
 Formal education
 Life experience
 Apprenticeships
 On-the-job experience
 Self-help programs.
All of these together contribute to job competence in a person. Ultimately, assessors and
participants work together, through the ‘collection of evidence’ in determining overall
competence.
This evidence can be collected:
 Using different formats
 Using different people
 Collected over a period of time.
The assessor, who is ideally someone with considerable experience in the area being
assessed, reviews the evidence and verifies the person as being competent or not.
Flexibility in assessment
Whilst allocated assessment tools have been identified for this subject, all attempts are
made to determine competency and suitable alternate assessment tools may be used,
according to the requirements of the participant.
The assessment needs to be equitable for all participants, taking into account their
cultural and linguistic needs.

Trainer Guide 7
Implement event management systems and procedures
Competency Based Training (CBT) and assessment – An introduction for trainers

Competency must be proven regardless of:


 Language
 Delivery Method
 Assessment Method.
Assessment objectives
The assessment tools used for subjects are designed to determine competency against
the ‘elements of competency’ and their associated ‘performance criteria’.
The assessment tools are used to identify sufficient:
a) Knowledge, including underpinning knowledge
b) Skills
c) Attitudes
Assessment tools are activities that trainees are required to undertake to prove participant
competency in this subject.
All assessments must be completed satisfactorily for participants to obtain competence in
this subject. There are no exceptions to this requirement, however, it is possible that in
some cases several assessment items may be combined and assessed together.
Types of assessment
Allocated Assessment Tools
There are a number of assessment tools that are used to determine competency in this
subject:
 Work projects
 Written questions
 Oral questions
 Third Party Report
 Observation Checklist.
Instructions on how assessors should conduct these assessment methods are explained
in the Assessment Manuals.
Alternative assessment tools
Whilst this subject has identified assessment tools, as indicated above, this does not
restrict the assessor from using different assessment methods to measure the
competency of a participant.
Evidence is simply proof that the assessor gathers to show participants can actually do
what they are required to do.
Whilst there is a distinct requirement for participants to demonstrate competency, there
are many and diverse sources of evidence available to the assessor.
Ongoing performance at work, as verified by a supervisor or physical evidence, can count
towards assessment. Additionally, the assessor can talk to customers or work colleagues
to gather evidence about performance.

8 Trainer Guide
Implement event management systems and procedures
Competency Based Training (CBT) and assessment – An introduction for trainers

A range of assessment methods to assess competency include:


 Practical demonstrations
 Practical demonstrations in simulated work conditions
 Problem solving
 Portfolios of evidence
 Critical incident reports
 Journals
 Oral presentations
 Interviews
 Videos
 Visuals: slides, audio tapes
 Case studies
 Log books
 Projects
 Role plays
 Group projects
 Group discussions
 Examinations.
Recognition of Prior Learning
Recognition of Prior Learning is the process that gives current industry professionals who
do not have a formal qualification, the opportunity to benchmark their extensive skills and
experience against the standards set out in each unit of competency/subject.
Also known as a Skills Recognition Audit (SRA), this process is a learning and
assessment pathway which encompasses:
 Recognition of Current Competencies (RCC)
 Skills auditing
 Gap analysis and training
 Credit transfer.
Assessing competency
As mentioned, assessment is the process of identifying a participant’s current knowledge,
skills and attitudes sets against all elements of competency within a unit of competency.
Traditionally in education, grades or marks were given to participants, dependent on how
many questions the participant successfully answered in an assessment tool.
Competency based assessment does not award grades, but simply identifies if the
participant has the knowledge, skills and attitudes to undertake the required task to the
specified standard.

Competency Based Training (CBT) and assessment – An introduction for trainers

Therefore, when assessing competency, an assessor has two possible results that can be
awarded:
 Pass Competent (PC)
 Not Yet Competent (NYC).
Pass Competent (PC)
If the participant is able to successfully answer or demonstrate what is required, to the
expected standards of the performance criteria, they will be deemed as ‘Pass Competent’
(PC).
The assessor will award a ‘Pass Competent’ (PC) if they feel the participant has the
necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes in all assessment tasks for a unit.
Not Yet Competent’ (NYC)
If the participant is unable to answer or demonstrate competency to the desired standard,
they will be deemed to be ‘Not Yet Competent’ (NYC).
This does not mean the participant will need to complete all the assessment tasks again.
The focus will be on the specific assessment tasks that were not performed to the
expected standards.
The participant may be required to:
a) Undertake further training or instruction
b) Undertake the assessment task again until they are deemed to be ‘Pass Competent’.

familiar with or indeed have attended. Explain as needed those events that learners
are likely to be less familiar with such as Trade shows, stage productions, AGMs
etc.
 View the links as needed to give an indication of different types of event
 Elizabeth Andrews deals with corporate occasions
 Pattis hire is of course and equipment hire company the other two are event
management companies.
Detail the MICE acronym and ask:
 What types of events are associated with each category? Have each group list
three answers for each category.
 Why is the MICE sector very appealing to hotels as a key market to attract?
 Now explain and indicate how lucrative this industry is. The link to MICE magazine
will provide information on upcoming events (AUST & New Zealand) and other
news as well as lots of images

21.  Discuss systems for Mise en place. Ultimately this can mean using a checklist to
ensure nothing is missed
 Discuss addressing problems using points in TM. It is essential learners make note
that maintaining a visible presence and being actively engaged in the task will be
key to identifying problems early enough to stop them or at least have a suitable
plan of action
 Remind them that as a customer we like to be reassured that the manager or owner
of the company is taking an interest and overseeing activities
 Discuss programmed decisions. Who knows about these or has used them? In
what situation? Do you think they are a good idea?
 Key point. If you are able to deal with a customer and provide a clear and decisive
course of action based around using a company programmed decision, you are
likely to win the customer over with your professionalism. Be sure you have
practiced what needs to be said so you don’t stumble over the words or the
opposite impression will be given
 Share any relevant stories on good and bad managers/owners that relate to this
topic
 Have 1-2 scenarios prepared based on the learners area of work to practise a

 Brainstorm changes that might have a big impact on the event. EG; dietary
requirements, expected numbers, arrival times, an activity added or taken out,
change of date, cancellation and so on
 Discuss using version control on documents and ensure all learners know how to
do this on the computer. Version control needs to be large enough for stakeholders
to identify the correct version quickly. For example it would be unwise to have the
version control as an 8pt footer on the page that is unnoticeable
 Have examples of version control to show. Some venues also identify people or
departments at the top of the page to clearly show who is in the communication
loop
 Staffing – identify who has experience with rostering staff. Do they consider the mix
of staff in this process?
 Discuss in detail as needed based on learner knowledge and experience in this
area
 Ask learners to consider their workplace and identify skill levels and experience
required in areas or on particular days
 Explain the steps associated with staffing a catered event. Have an activity for
learners to allocate staffing to ensuring a good staffing mix

conferences, exhibitions, sports events
 Click on the link and click on the ‘register’ tab top right of page. Follow through to
show what a registration page looks like. Explore other tabs. Reed gift fairs are very
large exhibitions for the retail industry. They are for trade only not the public
 Consider the importance of good systems and procedures with capturing data and
ensuring smooth operation of such events. Knowledgeable and experienced staff
are a valuable resource
 Identify steps associated with handling event registrations
 Ask the following questions
 Explain why it is important to monitor the progress of registrations on a regular
basis
 Identify documents used to help finalise registrations
 Identify materials that need to be prepared before an event such as a
conference or expo
 Identify considerations when setting up a registration table.

Outdoor events
 Discuss the points throughout this topic. Gauge learner knowledge and experience
in working at or attending such events. Have learners complete the activity
encouraging questions on any point they are unsure of. This should be a large
activity requiring an in-depth checklist and thorough review of notes. The focus
should be systems and procedures for ensuring smooth running. All managers will
be accountable for success or failure.
Activity
 In groups of approx.6 choose a manager for the group
 Consider your venue (a 5 star international brand hotel) has a large marquee at a
large food and wine festival. It seats 100 people and has a buffet and bar. You are
also selling a range of house made products, breads, chutneys, spices, cakes and
so on from a retail point adjoining the marquee .Your venue is running a shuttle bus
service to and from the event for house guests
 This is a ticketed event to the dining and bar area so access must be controlled
 Work from the notes in the TM to determine what infrastructure you will you need to
put in place
 Explain how you would monitor the implementation of these items to ensure they
are operationally ready for an event
 As a group make a checklist and delegate responsibility and reporting lines.

 Discuss importance of talking to staff, stakeholders, outside experts and customers
in various situations. A decision that takes in a number of viewpoints can often be
more effective.
Legal requirements, Insurance requirements and lease restrictions
 Discuss relevant points and check on knowledge and experience in these areas.
Not always relevant when implementing or adjusting system and procedures on a
daily operations level but need to be considered
 Capability of incorporating technology
 A key area where systems and procedure need to be revised or completely re-
written. Discuss with learners how they would do this?

Other key points to keep in mind
 Don’t make the briefing too long – people will switch off
 It is a briefing not a lecture
 Will staff be allowed to sit down if it needs to be a long briefing? This helps with
focus
 Consider where the briefing will be held
 Away from distraction
 Away from noise
 Ensure everyone can hear – watch for body language
 Ask clarifying questions to ensure staff are following you
 Allow suitable time so you are not rushed
 Encourage note taking
 Have important points on a whiteboard or notice board for staff to review. Many
people cannot take onboard a lot of verbal instruction. Remember learning styles.
Many staff will need to see images, diagrams or key points listed so they can
visualise or read again for themselves
 Ensure Event Order is available for staff to have an overview of the event.

Activity
 Feedback forms are created at different levels depending on what information you
are trying to obtain. Basic to in-depth
 Create a template with questions for seeking feedback from staff or clients.
 The purpose of this is to think about how a business can use feedback to
conduct qualitative and quantitative research in order to maintain or improve
systems and processes
 You need to consider what information you would like to gather
 How can you make the survey eye catching and worth the customers effort of
completing?
 Think about feedback forms that you have completed. What encouraged you to take
part? How did you rate the questions asked? Was the time taken worthwhile?
 What is an appropriate number of questions?
 Give a short introduction as to the purpose of the feedback questionnaire for the
customer
 Consider how much time is required by the customer to complete the survey and
acknowledge and thank them appropriately.

 Provide an answer scale


 Scale – no more than 2 different types
 Scale direction – across the page is better to reduce space
 Could be numbers 1-5 or 1-10, words such as likely, most likely not at all
 Or poor, average, good, very good, excellent. Note – an odd number of
answers always works best
 Be sure that all of your questions;
 Are relevant to the purpose of the feedback
 Have appropriate answers or a suitable scale
 Are combined when seeking the same type of information
 For example;
 How do you rate the food service?
 How do you rate the beverage service?
 This can be - How do you rate the food and beverage service?
 Questions are personal opinion so try things like
 How do you rate……
 In your opinion………
 Did you enjoy……….
 We welcome comments and suggestions
 Finish the survey with thanks (and encourage the guest to return)
 Ensure you have provided space for additional comments/feedback
