CBTA, what's the return on investment? 

Let's start by exploring the immediate benefits and key concepts of the Competency-Based Training and Assessments (CBTA) framework for learners.
 
Imagine you're an employer, and you need to send your staff for dangerous goods training.
Typically, they attend a week-long class to acquire knowledge, or online training in a dry format. However, it appears that they only apply half of what they learn in their job. This means you've paid for unnecessary training, and your staff has been away from their jobs longer than needed, costing your company more.
 
 This is where CBTA training becomes relevant. Through CBTA, you only provide training to your employees based on their specific job requirements. For instance, the person in the example only needs 50% of the training in a CBTA environment.
 
However, all staff need to have some basic understanding of Dangerous Goods therefore ICAO has made a minimum knowledge matrix for different functions in the dangerous goods chain which needs to be followed. It ensures that your staff gains the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitude to handle dangerous goods correctly.

Benefits of CBTA for learners

 
Here are a few benefits that the CBTA as a framework gives value.
 
Enhanced Retention, Application, and Engagement:
 
  • CBTA use a blend of instructional videos, tests, visuals, and interactive elements. This method is to ensure learners not only understand the material but also apply it effectively.
  • This method helps students remember more, use skills in real-life situations, and stay interested in learning.
  • The approach results in more enjoyable and memorable learning experiences.
 
Dynamic and Data-Driven Competency Development:
 
  • CBTA emphasises developing and precisely measuring key competency parameters like KSA (Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes).
  • Choosing a provider such as Scandlearn with advanced assessments and a statistical tool that tracks improvement in real-time is extremely beneficial.
  • This ensures that learners actively engage in learning and constantly improve the course content. It helps learners develop the necessary skills for their roles in a more dynamic and effective way.
