Competency-based education is an educational model in which the emphasis is primarily on acquiring proficiency in skills that are measured through assessments along with credits given to skills learned through work experience or in earlier programs. It differs from traditional education models that rely on a credit hour-based system of credentialing. While traditional educational models are fixed-time models, in competency-based education programs, student competency and learning are the areas of focus with time being a variable, as in competency-based education, since the learning is self-paced, students can prioritize modules, and accordingly allot time for each module.
