Abstract: innovations. Traditional training, focused on knowledge acquisition, struggles to prepare professionals for dynamic roles. This study develops and evaluates competency-based training (CBT) modules using paramedics at the Armed Forces Health Training Institute (INSAN) as a case study. A multi-stage design was employed, integrating Training Needs Analysis, competency framework mapping, measurable learning outcomes and standardized assessment tools. Findings reveal that CBT strengthens technical proficiency, decision-making and adaptability, while addressing weaknesses in outdated curricula and unclear evaluation systems. Importantly, linking training content with job descriptions and career progression enhances motivation, accountability and professional sustainability. In conclusion, it was found that competency-based module would offer a replicable model for healthcare training by embedding lifelong learning, reflective practice and continuous improvement. The study contributes to workforce development literature and provides actionable guidance for institutional reforms, ensuring healthcare professionals remain resilient, future-ready and aligned with evolving industry needs.
