			<H1>Today's protected areas (PA) are increasingly complex institutions, and a highly diverse skill set is required to manage them effectively. To be innovative and effective in providing biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services, and other benefits, PA professionals must become and remain competent over time, in a number of competence categories.</H1>

				<strong>Competence</strong> is the proven ability to do a job; it is often defined in terms of the required combination of skills, knowledge and attitude. <strong>Skills</strong> ensure the ability to perform a task reliably and consistently, <strong>knowledge</strong> provides an understanding of the technical and theoretical background to the task and an appreciation of its purpose; and having the right <strong>attitude</strong> helps ensure than an individual works professionally, ethically and conscientiously. <strong>Competence</strong> focuses primarily on the actual ability of individuals to perform in their jobs effectively, rather than on delivery of training and acquisition of qualifications.

				In the last 20 years, there has been increasing interest in adopting a competence-based approach to guide the professionalizations – the professional development, assessment, and certification – of protected area staff. The framework used here has been developed by the IUCN WCPA Capacity Development Programme.
