What is Outcomes Based Training?

The word “outcomes based training” is frequently heard, but not greatly understood.

Put in the simplest terms, it is training that focuses on a final outcome, task or skill that the learner will be competent in, on conclusion of the learning process.

Why is This a Better Approach?

The previous approach a disadvantage to learners with inferior written communication skills, candidates with inadequate coping skills to deal with exam pressure and candidates who were not able to study rote fashion .

The new outcomes based training caters more for these individuals, as the training and assessment process ultimately focuses on the ability of the candidate to perform practically. Assessment is a holistic integrated process incorporating diverse assessment methods and techniques over a period of time. This eliminates the “final exam stress” experienced by most learners, and provides more accurate evidence of the learners ability to consistently perform.
