The competence based education is based on core assignments. This starts with an expert example or assignment of the whole task, then modules are undertaken, these have preparatory assignments that prepare the learner for the module and relate the module to the core task. Each module contains sub-modules and each of these sub modules will include a practical assignment that will help the learner to learn how to perform the core task. The modules undertaken during a given semester are aimed at providing:
• applied theory 
• technical and general skills 
• professional attitude
