Understanding learning outcomes
There are two main types of learning outcome:  Skills that can be performed  Knowledge that can be learnt. Sometimes they can cover a combination of the two.

Competence / Skills based learning outcomes:  generally begin with ‘Be able to’ and the assessment criteria usually show that the evidence must be observable  are about being able to perform a variety of different tasks as part of your work role within a real work environment.

Knowledge based learning outcomes:  generally begin with ‘Know’, ‘Understand’ or ‘Know how to’ and the assessment criteria will reflect that evidence can be recorded in ways other than observation, although observation remains a valid method (however, some learning outcomes could be purely knowledge based and do not need to be in the context of a work role).
