Why Performance-Based?

No one gets paid for knowing things; they get paid for using what they know.

​

This begs the question of why one would use purely theoretical training to teach someone how to do a job? Or use only knowledge-based tests for assessing or certifying anyone?  The answers, historically, have been that: a) performance tests are too hard or expensive to score, and b) many national labor laws (for example, the EEOC in the United States) say that these tests are valid enough.  

​

But wait, is this good enough for you – or your Customers?  Wouldn't you rather assess how well a person will be able to do their job after going to the expense of training them?  Or, if you're certifying that they can hold a job role, wouldn't you prefer to have a certification program that could demonstrate some predictive validity?
