Clifford Devlin regards Competence as a balance level established between knowledge and experience. We believe that: Competence cannot exist without the underpinning level of knowledge; Knowledge alone does not imply competence; Until an individual has done the job for some time, he or she cannot achieve competence. Competence cannot be learnt in isolation, it can only be developed in the performance of the job. Clifford Devlin shall annually reassess the competence (both knowledge and practical ability) of all employees, in order to ensure that training objectives are met and remain valid. Page 1 of 6
