Veterans Affairs Canada
Bernadette and her team at The Competency Group (formerly Future Learning) were instrumental in helping Veterans Affairs Canada implement its most ambitious program modernization in 60 years. Under extremely tight deadlines, The Competency Group team worked with us to design a variety of training programs (as the content was being developed) and then co-delivered these programs across the country. Over 2000 of our employees received between 0.5 days and 11 days of training over a 6-month period.
The team also provided expert project management and project management assistant services. Furthermore, they constructed several evaluation tools to evaluate employee learning.

Former Project Manager
Canadian Geoexhange Coalition
I’d like to thank The Competency Group, for an extraordinarily professional and well thought-through effort in developing the National Occupational Standards for Geoexchange Installers. The project has added substantially to our industry’s professionalization. A number of installers on the industry committee were so pleased to be involved with the project they indicated that “this was a highlight of my career.”

Vice President
P.E.I. Department of Health
The work you and your company conducted for PEI on developing training modules for the Atlantic Building a Better Tomorrow initiative from conception to delivery was excellent. The quality modules you delivered were readily picked up and facilitated by facilitators across the Atlantic region, and the demand for module delivery grew exponentially as each group of trainees had satisfactory experiences with the content and presentation of the modules. The adult education philosophy and approach you used to facilitate delivery of the modules was right on target.
I was most impressed with the courteous and professional approach demonstrated by you and each of your staff during each contact we made, whether in person, via computer or over the phone. You truly accommodated the diverse needs of PEI and Atlantic staff and stakeholders in accomplishing the task at hand.
Thank you for assisting the goal of high quality results. You helped ease the process to a successful outcome, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future.

Doug’s Success Dashboard
The Competency Group’s knowledge capture of the Presenter/Facilitator Role for Doug’s Success Dashboard© lays out a detailed breakdown of our process in a clear, concise, and logical manner and is easy to follow. As use of the Dashboard process continues to scale, this document will become instrumental as a training, certification, and licensing tool to ensure the process is delivered at a consistently high quality; it will also act as a starting point to incorporate further enhancements to the process as we continue to gain experience and receive feedback from participants.
I wanted to express my appreciation to The Competency Group for their willingness and adaptability to accommodate my unique business needs and approach in a very practical way. I found The Competency Group Team very professional, disciplined, and resourceful in their approach and a pleasure to work with, which I feel resulted in a very detailed, high quality, and very useful end-product.
Thank you to your team for a job well done.

Bernadette and Terry transformed our organization with their unique competency based methodologies and tools. Using strong project management principles and a very collaborative approach, they were able to identify the unique skills, behaviours, and knowledge required for individual roles. This allowed us to hire the “right” people and train them effectively. Building from there, we were able to set performance standards and promotion criteria.
It was a great pleasure to work with Bernadette and Terry. Their ability to engage with various stakeholders and their common sense approach was both welcoming and refreshing. I highly recommend the The Competency Group for your development needs.
