Explanation of the model

We chose a multi-dimensional approach for this competence model. First, we describe the competences. Then each competence is divided into attitudes, knowledge, skills, and behaviours.

Competence models allow you to look at and analyse your own competences and address your professional challenges. A competence model is a good basis for self-assessment, peer-support and peer-review. It gives impulses that might encourage you to try out new things and invest further in your personal and professional development.
