Overview

Competence was developed for organisations who are: “compelled to care about performance”. That means those for whom performance is not just important, it is paramount

Schools. Colleges. Professional Sports Clubs. The British Army. 

Our app helps them drive performance improvements in the knowledge, skills and behaviours - or competencies - of their people. So whether it’s learners, governors, teachers, players, coaches or recruits in basic training, the principle is largely the same. 

“Competence was created for organisations who are compelled to care about performance”

We're proud to work with organisations considered to be some of the most successful and respected their sectors have to offer. We’ve done it with very little sales and marketing spend to date.

But it’s now time to spread the word - and so we’re looking for a best-in-class Head of Content Marketing.
