Competency/Competence?
'Competency' and
‘competencies’ may be
defined as the behaviours(and, where appropriate,
technical attributes) to
perform effectively – that
is, the terms focus on the
personal attributes or
inputs of the individual.
'Competence' and
‘competences’ are broader
concepts that encompass
demonstrable
performance outputs
as well as behaviour
inputs, and may relate to a
system or set of minimum
standards required for
effective performance at
work.
A ‘competency framework’ is a structure that sets out and defines
each individual competency (such as problem-solving or people
management) required by individuals as part of a profession.

IN THE END, COMPETENCY IS

qualified.
• Any attitude, skill, behaviour, motive or
other professional characteristic that is
essential for an individual to perform a job,
or more importantly, differentiate ‘the
professional’ from the ‘non-professional’.
