Overview
A competency standard is a written specification of the knowledge, skills and attitudes required
for the performance of an occupation, trade or job corresponding to the industry standard of
performance required in the workplace.
The purpose of a competency standards is to:
      provide a consistent and reliable set of components for training, recognising and
       assessing people’s skills, and may also have optional support materials
      enable industry recognised qualifications to be awarded through direct assessment of
       workplace competencies
      encourage the development and delivery of flexible training which suits individual and
       industry requirements
      encourage learning and assessment in a work-related environment which leads to
       verifiable workplace outcomes
Competency standards are developed by a working group comprised of representative from
NSDA, Key Institutions, ISC, and industry experts to identify the competencies required of an
occupation in RMG and Textile Sector.
Competency standards describe the skills, knowledge and attitude needed to perform
effectively in the workplace. CS acknowledge that people can achieve technical and vocational
competency in many ways by emphasizing what the learner can do, not how or where they
learned to do it.
With competency standards, training and assessment may be conducted at the workplace or at
training institute or any combination of these.
Competency standards consist of a number of units of competency. A unit of competency
describes a distinct work activity that would normally be undertaken by one person in
accordance with industry standards.
Units of competency are documented in a standard format that comprises of:
             unit title
             nominal duration
             unit code
             unit descriptor
             elements and performance criteria
             variables and range statement
             curricular content guide
             assessment evidence guide
Together, all the parts of a unit of competency:
             describe a work activity
             guide the assessor to determine whether the candidate is competent or not yet
               competent
