This contrasts with [[competency-based training]], where learners progress once they demonstrate mastery, not based on time spent. ====== Difference Between Time-Based and Competency-Based Training ====== ^ **Feature** ^ **Time-Based Training** ^ **Competency-Based Training** ^ | **Definition** | Training progresses based on fixed durations (e.g., months or years). | Training progresses based on demonstrated skills and knowledge. | | **Progress Criteria** | Time spent in the program. | Mastery of specific competencies. | | **Learning Pace** | Fixed for all learners. | Flexible; personalized to each learner. | | **Curriculum** | Standardized for all learners. | Individualized based on learning needs. | | **Assessment Focus** | Attendance and task completion. | Skill demonstration and outcome-based. | | **Advancement** | Scheduled, often with cohorts. | As soon as competencies are demonstrated. | | **Common In** | Traditional education systems. | Modern training frameworks (e.g., medical, vocational). | | **Best When** | Uniform exposure is the goal. | Mastery and performance are the priority. | ---- **Example:** * *Time-Based:* A residency lasts 5 years regardless of individual progress. * *Competency-Based:* A resident advances based on skill, not seniority. time-based_training.txt Last modified: 2025/04/01 23:27by 127.0.0.1
