Patrick Cote, Purolator Labelmaster DGS Rhonda Jessop, Labelmaster September 9, 2015
Objectives:
- What is Competency Based- Training? - ICAO Working Paper 30 - overview
- Reality Check – how change will affect your
organization and your training
Introduction to Competency Based Training
What is competency based training? ◦ Definition ◦ Basic educational concepts ◦ Example
Competency Based Training
Definition:
“A cluster of related knowledge, skills, and attitudes that affects a major part of one’s job (a role or responsibility), that correlates with performance on the job, that can be measured against well-accepted standards, and that can be improved via training and development." (Training magazine: July, 1996)
Competency Based Training
Basic Educational Concepts: Most often used in teaching/learning concrete skills
rather than abstract concepts Not a modular approach – every skill or competency is
a unit Learners work on one competency at a time until it has
been mastered, then move on Learner based with teacher as facilitator Allows for greater flexibility and recognition that
learners acquire competencies at different paces
Competency Based Training
Basic Educational Concepts: Most other learning methods have summative testing,
competency based learning requires mastery of every individual learning outcome – progressive
Competency units can be skipped if the learner can show mastery – by formative testing or prior learning assessments
Well suited for learning domains where safety can be affected (i.e. dangerous goods) – where mastery of the competency requires consistent repetition of a task
Competency Based Training In dangerous goods training: Conventional dangerous goods training is typically designed
around the job title and is subject-matter driven Competency-based training is designed to ensure that
personnel can perform the function for which they are responsible.
Competencies describe what a competent person’s performance on the job should be
A critical feature of competency-based training is the inclusion of a continuous assessment process that extends beyond completion of the training course
Competency Based Training
Theorical learning
Written test Road test Competency assessment
Example: Learning to drive a car with manual transmission:
ICAO Working Paper 30 - overview
Extensive revisions to Part1;4 of the TI’s Advisory for 2017-2018, mandatory by 2019 Training approach now based on competencies Training is aimed to make sure employees
performing job related DG functions are doing so competently
Tables 1-4,1-5 and 1-6 removed and new 1-4 included
ICAO Working Paper 30 - overview
Chapter 1 of WP/30 provides the actual text of the new Part 1;4
Guidance materials will be included in the form of a new attachment (see Chapters 2 -4 in WP/30)
Chapter 2 of WP/30 provides a theoretical background of competency based training and its benefits
Chapter 2 also describes methodologies for development of these programs
ICAO Working Paper 30 - overview Chapter 3 of WP/30 provides a dangerous
goods competency framework model Chapter 4 of WP/30 provides a “Dangerous
Goods Functions – Process Flowchart” Chapter 5 provides a matrix tool to assist in
identifying required knowledge for specific DG functions
ICAO needs your feedback! Group Exercise: Everyone has a copy of Working Paper 30 Each table has a brown sealed envelope in the center The envelope contains one of the 10 key questions that
ICAO would like to hear feedback on As a table group, discuss the question and formulate
your feedback. Choose one person from the table to present your answer(s).
We will put each of the questions on screen one at a time, and when your comes up you will have 5 minutes to present your table’s perspective!

Question 7:
Do you believe that all training courses should include provisions for DG carried by passengers and crew? (See Chapter 1 of WP/30 under 4.2.6)

Question 8:
Is our time frame (implementation by 2019) achievable?

Question 9:
How long would it take instructors/trainers to “switch” from traditional to Competency Based Training? What are the costs involved in doing so?
ICAO needs your feedback!
Question 10:
What additional information (guidance material) would be useful in order to implement Competency Based Training properly?
Summary We will compile all of your comments and
feedback and send to ICAO in a consolidated document
