INSTITUTIONAL ASSESSMENT

Institutional Assessment is undertaken by trainees to determine their


achievement of units of competency. A certificate of achievement is issued for each
unit of competency.

CBC Massage Therapy NC II (Amended) - 89 -


What is Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC)

A competency-based curriculum is a framework or guide for the


subsequent detailed development of competencies, associated
methodologies, training and assessment resources.

The CBC specifies the outcomes which are consistent with the
requirements of the workplace as agreed through the industry or
community consultations.

CBC can be developed immediately when competency standards


exist.

When competency standards do not exist, curriculum developers need


to clearly define the learning outcomes to be attained. The standard of
performance required must be appropriate to industry and occupational
needs according to advice from industry/ enterprises or a specified
client group.
