Diploma in Competency-Based Training (CBT)

The Diploma in Competency-Based Training at Akenten Appiah-Menka University focuses on the practical skills needed to design and deliver training that is assessed against real-world competencies. This approach is widely used in technical and vocational education. The course runs on a sandwich basis in Kumasi.

What competency-based training involves

Competency-based training (CBT) is an approach to education in which learners are assessed on their ability to perform specific tasks to a set standard, rather than on how much theory they can recall. A diploma in this field typically covers how to analyse jobs to identify required competencies, plan learning experiences that build those competencies, and assess learners through observation and practical demonstrations. Most graduates go on to work as trainers, assessors, or curriculum designers in TVET institutions, industry training centres, and other skills development organisations.

How competitive admission is

Entry to this diploma is less competitive than many other programmes at the university. That means applicants who meet the basic admission requirements are likely to be considered. This is a sandwich programme based in Kumasi, and you should confirm the specific arrangements and eligibility criteria directly with the university before applying.
