Training
Competencies have been defined as the "skills, behaviors, and attitudes that lead to high performance" (Orr, Sneltjes & Dai, 2010). A competency model is a model of the competencies that need to be in place to ensure high performance in a specific role, and more generally in the organization. Having a competency model helps the organization to target its training, by identifying both the competencies that the organization needs to succeed and matching this with the prevalence of those competencies within the organization (Noe, 2012).
The first step in developing a competency model is to identify the roles within the company, in particular ensuring that the roles presently within the company are the precise roles that the company needs to fill in order to be successful. Assuming that the right roles exist within the company, having a set of job descriptions that lead to success in that role is essential. Thus, part of the training for competency concept is that the company needs to understand the jobs it has, complete with an understanding of specific competencies necessary for each position. It should be noted that it is important that the job roles are understood realistically. Some companies...
If blunt honesty, or strong analytical skills are the most important facets of a position, the company has to be honest about that when it assesses that position.
Competency models are therefore closely related to job analysis. The job analysis serves to identify the competencies that are genuinely associated with success at that position. The better the job analysis, the better the competency model. With an accurate competency model in place, the organization is now in a better position to train its people for the competencies that are needed for success, or to move people to positions that are better-suited for the abilities.
A competency model can sometimes be built on the basis of who is most successful at that position at present. There can be different definitions of success, too. This is an area that can trip a company up. Two people with very different competencies can succeed in different ways -- think of a courier who is well-organized and can make a lot of deliveries vs. one who is very…
Training A competency model "identifies the competencies necessary for each job as well as the knowledge, skills, behavior and personality characteristics underlying each competency." This is related to job analysis is that the latter "refers to the process of developing a description of the job's tasks, duties and responsibilities." The job analysis also develops "the specifications (knowledge, skills and abilities" that an employee must have to perform the job. There is

Competency-Based Education Chambers, D. etal. (1996, I June). "Another look at competency-based education in dietetics." Journal of the American Dietetic Association 96 (6): 614. While this article is focused on the usefulness of competency-based education specifically within the field of dietetics, it is helpful for those in other fields as well because it presents an excellent argument about why competency-based education is such a powerful tool. While other training (and evaluation) methods
Such training can be effective, but it depends on the learning style of the trainees. This is an area where training design can be particularly challenging. Many people have different learning styles, so group training is likely more effective with some people and less effective with others. Many people require a more hands-on approach to their training, the result being that they might struggle with classroom training. It is
