What is Competency Based Education?

Competency-based education lets you learn at your own pace and advance by showing what you know and can do. Instead of spending a set amount of time in class, you focus on one skill at a time and move forward when you demonstrate proficiency. You can move quickly through material you already know or take more time when you need it.
