Skill Curriculum Design Template

Use this template to convert a competency into a practical, job-focused curriculum. Fill in the core fields, populate the module slots provided, and capture assessment and transfer plans. Save this template so teams can pilot, iterate, and measure whether learning transfers to on-the-job performance.

A short name you will recognize (example: 'Frontline Customer Service — Tier 1')
Name the competency this curriculum develops
Describe why this competency matters and the core value for learners and the organization
Roles, experience level, or cohorts (example: 'New hires — 0–6 months')
List specific behaviors, outputs, or decisions learners should demonstrate (use verbs: describe, perform, create)
Concrete artifacts, measurements, or supervisor observations that will prove mastery (examples: error rate < X, independently complete Y)
Enter how many modules you intend to include. Use the module slots below (up to 6).
Short module title (example: 'Foundations & Safety')
Estimated total contact + practice time
3–5 measurable learning objectives
How will you assess learning (types, frequency, formative vs summative)?
Define mastery thresholds and what constitutes 'done'
When will assessments occur (example: week 2 formative, week 6 summative)
How learners will apply skills on the job and how the organization will support that transfer
Specific on-the-job tasks, projects, or shadowing activities learners should complete
Will learners receive structured coaching or feedback after training?
Job aids, checklists, cheat sheets, or digital guidance
High-level rollout plan and pilot dates
Who is responsible for development, delivery, and measurement
Known risks to success and planned mitigations
KPIs (example: % competency demonstrated in 30 days, error reduction, speed improvements)
Pilot plan, evaluation window, and scale criteria
