This booklet is intended to help persons interested in developing and implementing a competency-based training (CBT) program. It begins with a definition of CBT and outlines the steps involved in developing and implementing a CBT program (with emphasis on available materials and existing programs in Australia). The first section is a series of questions and answers designed to help trainers determine whether they are ready to implement CBT and whether a CBT program will work for them. Section 2 discusses the following steps in the program development process: preparing others for CBT, designing a CBT program, getting materials and resources, organizing the facilities, and developing management procedures. The third section covers assisting learning, assessing learning, and monitoring a CBT program. Next, the concept of CBT as an evolving phenomenon is discussed briefly. The final section is an annotated bibliography of 14 recommended publications (13 published in Australia) concerning competency-based vocational education programs and their implementation. (MN)
