- Abstract
- This chapter chronicles the 30 years of competency-based training (CBT), a curriculum approach which characterized the Australian vocational education and training (VET) system, during that time. The chapter draws upon and brings up to date two previous published accounts by the author, of 10 years and 20 years of CBT, and covers key events, significant policy changes and debates in each 10 year period, including a detail description of current processes for competency standards and curriculum development. CBT has become increasingly narrowly defined, to the detriment of the VET system and of learners, and so the chapter ends by suggesting specific possibilities for improvement. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
