What is a competency? A competency is a combination of knowledge, skills and attitude that you need to function adequately in any given professional situation: a nurse must know how to give a crying child a vaccination, and a policeman must be able to stop a drunken brawl. Why competencies? Competency orientated teaching has become an important higher education objective. To meet it, an individual personal development plan (PDP) is indispensable. PDPs are based on what one knows about one's own skills and what one need acquire for one's future profession. Managing Your Competencies shows the reader how to go about drawing up a PDP.
