What is an achievement in the context of competencies?

An achievement in the context of competencies refers to a specific accomplishment that highlights an individual's capabilities and performance in a tangible way. This often includes recognitions such as awards, honors, or significant successes in a professional setting that demonstrate the application of skills and knowledge. Achievements serve as concrete evidence of one’s abilities and contribute to a person's overall competency profile.

While formal studies completed, professional licenses obtained, and skills gained through experience are all important elements of personal and professional development, they do not represent direct accomplishments in the same way that awards or specific recognitions do. Instead, they may serve as foundational aspects or indicators of competence but lack the distinct, celebrated nature of an achievement that showcases success. Therefore, focusing on tangible and recognized accomplishments provides clearer insight into an individual's competencies.
