Standards of competence
Standards of competence specify the technical abilities, knowledg and skills required to become a safe and accomplished exponent of a particular profession or other field of activity.
Standards of competence principally refer to the standards set by professional bodies (or in some countries government bodies) that spcify the skills and knowledge required to become a competent practitioner in the profession.
Standards of competence relate to the technical abilities of students.
It is a demonstration that a specified level of ability on a
range of competencies has been achieved. Competencies may include
general transferable skills as well as ‘higher level’ academic
skills appropriate to an award. In some cases competence
includes particular abilities congruent with induction into a profession
and the award of a licence to practice, as for example, in
medicine or law.
Here is a table that outlines the relationship between standards and quality, along with an indication of the the external assurance and standards checking processes that are used.
