Common Competency
Mapping
Challenges
• Initial discussions of the Mapping group were lengthy
and reflected discussion on topics such as common and
differing terminology across professions
• Logistics of working with a geographically dispersed
group – trying to have involved discussion over email
• Engaging all sixteen professions equally
• Timescales – production of assessment tool was
dependent upon production of the Maps
• Agreeing upon format and design for the completed
Maps

Common Competency
Mapping
Process
•Agreed upon list of knowledge and skills
demonstrable in students from each profession
• PSRB guidance was discussed and then
similar statements were amalgamated
• Statements were grouped into, at the highest
order, ‘clusters’ which then divided into
‘dimension statements’, ‘elements’ and
‘performance criteria’, which together formed
the Competency ‘Map’
