Q: PHACKS – difference between Proficiency and Competence


A: http://www.co.benton.or.us/sheriff/ems/documents/sar_notebook_introsar_000.pdf

Proficient - SAR personnel should take action in a correct, competent and professional manner

Competent - SAR personnel should be adequately qualified for the purpose, “...if search is required, be qualified for search, etc.”

"Proficient" emphasizes having the needed skills. "Competent" emphasizes being qualified (assessed by others).
