In a traditional learning approach, the training is centered on course content, while the delivery of instruction is time-based and teacher-centered.

The course contents are based on defined learning objectives and an assumed level of knowledge from the participants, whose entry competencies are seldom evaluated before participating in the training program. These training programs provide opportunities to address the specific needs of the individual.

The goal of competency-based training and assessment is to provide focused training for a competent workforce. It is a systematic method based on three principles:

  1. identification of the key competencies and skills to be achieved;
  2. determination of the most effective way of achieving these competencies;
  3. establishment of tools for valid and reliable assessment measurement.

Our consulting services framework describes our methodology, which is broadly classified into five (5) different phases, each with its own unique characteristics and deliverables.

  1. Analysis: This phase concerns the analysis of the training requirements. The objective is to uncover all objectives, needs and contextual requirements that will enable course design.
  2. Design: This phase concerns the specification of training requirements and the structure of the training course
  3. Development: This phase concerns the creation of the training content, material and systems that have been specified.
  4. Implementation: This phase concerns the execution that is. deployment, delivery and maintenance of the training course.
  5. Evaluation: This phase concerns with the ongoing improvement of the training to meets its objectives.


You may engage IATA Training consultants to carry out one or more of the phases based on the level of involvement required.
