Properties of an effective competency‐based training programare considered, and it is suggested that well‐written competencies must be measurable, reliable, and valid. If these conditions cannot be met, then competency‐based training is inappropri‐ate. Eight model competencies for attending behavior are presented. The data which are presented indicate that these competencies can be measured reliably. Although these competencies were developed for use with microcounseling training, they are easily adaptable to other training programs.
