Knowledge

• K1: Specialized factual and theoretical knowledge and an understanding of the boundaries in a field of work or discipline, encompassing a broad and coherent body of knowledge and concepts, with substantive depth in the underlying principles and theoretical concepts.
• K2: An understanding of allied knowledge and theories in related fields of work or disciplines and the case of professional disciplines including related regulations, standards, codes, and conventions.
• K3: Understanding of the critical approach to the creation and compilation of a systematic and coherent body of knowledge and concepts gained from a range of sources.
• K4: A comprehensive understanding of critical analysis, research systems and methods and evaluative problem-solving techniques.
• K5: Familiarity with sources of current and new research and knowledge with integration of concepts from outside fields.

Skills

• S1: Technical, creative and analytical skills appropriate to solving specialized problems using evidentiary and procedural-based processes in predictable and new contexts that include devising and sustaining arguments associated with a field of work or discipline.
• S2: Evaluating, selecting and applying appropriate methods, procedures or techniques in processes of investigation towards identified solutions.
• S3: Evaluating and implementing appropriate research tools and strategies associated with the field of work or discipline.
• S4: Highly developed advanced communication and information technology skills to present, explain and/or critique complex and unpredictable matters.

Aspects of Competence: Autonomy and Responsibility

• CA1: Can take responsibility for developing innovative and advanced approaches to evaluating and managing complex and unpredictable work procedures and processes, resources or learning.
• CA2: Can manage technical, supervisory or design processes in unpredictable, unfamiliar and varying contexts.
• CA3: Can work creatively and/or effectively as an individual, in team leadership, managing contexts, across technical or professional activities.
• CA4: Can express an internalized, personal view, and accept responsibility to society at large and to socio-cultural norms and relationships.

Role in Context

• CB1: Can function with full autonomy in technical and supervisory contexts and adopt para-professional roles with little guidance.
• CB2: Can take responsibility for the setting and achievement of group or individual outcomes and the management and supervision of the work of others or self in the case of a specialization in a field of work or discipline.
• CB3: Can participate in peer relationships with qualified practitioners and lead multiple, complex groups.
• CB4: Can take responsibility for managing the professional development and direct mentoring of individuals and groups.

Self-development

• CC1: Can self-evaluate and take responsibility for contributing to professional practice, and undertake regular professional development and/ or further learning can manage learning.
