<td><p><b><span class="standardmainheading">Workplace Training Plan - Competency standards</span></b></p>
<p>The competency standards identify the generic outcomes for competent practitioners. These represent the fundamental, transferable competencies. Rather than formulating complex requirements for all functions, the system relies on peers for training and assessment. </p>
<p>The core activity of BE professionals are to bring about change from an initial state to a final state overcoming barriers on the way to achieve a result useful for people, enterprises or society. BE professionals-science based knowledge is brought to bear while taking into account impacts, regulatory factors and ethics. Responsible, judgment-based decision making and management of the process are essential to achieve the BE professionals goals. Competent practitioners underpin their activities by learning continually, both formally and informally. </p>
<p>Candidates, supervisors and mentors must focus at all times on the goal of training, namely the development of competence as specified by the outcomes in the standard and the required level of performance viewed in an integrated way. While competence is specified by different outcomes to be demonstrated at a particular level, the applicant for registration must <strong>demonstrate integrated performance against outcomes</strong>.<strong> </strong>Figure 1 visualises interconnectedness of outcomes that are evident in e.g. engineering competence. </p>

<p>Evidence of competent performance has therefore two essential requirements: first, a capability to <strong><em>perform a number of defined actions </em></strong>must be demonstrated, and second, the performance must be at or exceed a <strong><em>specified level of demand</em></strong>. </p>
<p>In a professional field, evidence of competent performance is obtained from the competent performance of substantial tasks by the person being assessed. Typical tasks provide evidence of several outcomes and assessment is holistic. </p>
