I purchased the study guide, and I just wanted to let you know that I passed my test. I just want to thank you again, and hope you have continued success in your ventures. Chris G. My name is Chris. I used the study guide for five days. The study guide made the test so easy to understand.
Like you said this program is worth 's of dollars. To me 1,'s!! Brian I just had to thank you guys for the test prep! I bought the guide as a last minute prep, I mean maybe 5 hours before the test.
I was nervous about the test let alone receiving the score I needed. I read the guide through only once before test time and needless to say, the only way I passed was thanks to your refresher!!
How enthusiastic are we about CBET, about applying the planning and developing process of CBET is shown in principles in practice and overcoming the barriers and figure 4. How comfortable are we with the philosophy of CBET? How strongly do we believe in the potential of the CBET system? How open-minded are we about pushing ahead into the relative unknown that lies ahead? Additional is- Creating a curriculum is one of the essential functions sues such as workers behaviour, general knowledge and within an education or training system as it constitutes skills, tools, equipment, supplies and materials as well the guideline for planning, conducting and assessing as future concerns should be considered.

The results must be structured and recorded for a final DACUM acronym for develop a curriculum is a method report, which is disseminated to the relevant authori- to define systematically the tasks, jobs, competences ties.
The steps of a typical DACUM session are outlined and tools associated with a certain type of workplace. DACUM is an inductive approach, i.
Three assumptions are underlying DACUM: First, persons who do certain activities regularly can describe them in a realistic and precise manner. Second, an ef- ficient way of work and job analysis is to describe the tasks of a specialist precisely and completely and third, every successfully completed task requires special knowledge, skills, equipment and behaviour, which can be identified implicitly through work and job analysis.

Functional analysis is a deductive and 6.

Therefore, functional analysis may be characterised as a process 7. Final structuring of disaggregating complex functions into smaller com- ponents, where functions are the defined outcome of a realised activity without describing the specific context of the activity.
Functional analysis leads to small units 8. Recording of final results. Preparing report. A problem articulated in this respect is that functions should be generally defined, although they are not necessarily suitable for all different contexts. Although both functional analysis and DACUM are complex procedures that require sufficient expertise from practitioners they depict the most commonly used methods for curriculum development in CBET. Therefore, authorised Competence standards are the core feature of a institutions approve these enterprise standards before Competency-based curriculum, since they are an impor- they are endorsed.
Competence standards can be ers, industry trainers and assessors develop all three categorised into three types, namely industry stand- kinds of standards.
Before applying a method to create ards, cross-industry standards and enterprise standards a curriculum for CBET it is necessary to analyse the Harris et al.

Although the flexible develop- procedures have to be set up, since the efficiency of ment of standards at the enterprise level is important competence standards relies heavily on the quality of to address individual needs, national consistency and their verification.
The process of developing competence standards is illustrated in figure 6. The typical format of a competence standard consists of Elements of competence as the smallest components units of competence, elements of competence and per- making up a competence profile or standard provide a formance criteria. Moreover, the system makes use of detailed description of individual competences per- range variables and an evidence guide for the learner.

Thus, even if a national qualification of application for an element of competence so called is not entirely achieved, the awarded units of compe- range variables are added.

Assessment procedures should provide for the flexibility. Consequently assessment procedures cannot recognition of competences no matter how, where or when they have been acquired. Assessment procedures should be made accessible vide a range of different methods that can be applied to learners so that learners can proceed readily according to the needs and potentials of learners and from one competence standard to another.
