Competency-Based Education

IMPACT is aligned with the competency-based education (CBE) approach, which focuses on teaching specific job-related skills that are needed to perform a critical task in the workplace

This non-traditional teaching approach decouples learning from time-based models, such as three-hour credit courses and 14-week semesters, and enables IMPACT to empower working adults in Virginia with career-advancing skills.

The CBE approach uses an online platform to deliver asynchronous, self-paced learning modules aligned with workplace competencies.
