Abstract
This paper discusses and explores whether competency based training is useful for workplace training and education. Competency based training and education has re-emerged over the past decade as the panacea to meet the education and training needs to develop a more flexible and skilled Australian workforce. Nurse education has been affected by these re-emerging trends. The historical developments associated with competency based training is presented. Specifically the relevance of competency based training to nursing and nurse education is examined.
