Developing Role Aligned Competencies
We model our CBT on the premise that all participants can master the required knowledge/ skill provided adequate attention is paid to time allotted and appropriate methods of learning are used.
CBT focuses on working with participants on practical work-related scenarios & situations versus conceptual concepts & lectures. More training time is devoted to evaluating each participant’s ability to perform essential job skills.
