Occupational Competency Standards

Occupational Competency Standards are clear guidelines that define the skills, knowledge, and abilities required to perform a specific job effectively. They set the benchmark for what professionals in a particular field should know and do, ensuring consistency and quality in performance. These standards help employers, training organizations, and workers understand expectations, guide training programs, and assess competency levels. In essence, they serve as a formal framework that aligns work requirements with the capabilities needed to perform a role successfully.
