Special Competencies are the Competencies that are needed to complete specific tasks to resolve specific problems in technical areas. The use of existing knowledge concerning Best Practices for programs and Competencies for professional practitioners makes programs cost-effective and successful. Unfortunately, if the knowledge of existing successful programs is not posted on the internet, it will not be considered for Best Practices and related Competencies. Specific Competencies include knowledge and comprehension of environmental biological agents, environmental chemical agents, and environmental physical agents. Specific Competencies are in fact general Competencies in specific work areas such as water, air, food, land, etc. Best Practices are the practical application of knowledge and successful experiences coming from the work product of professionals and are then used by other professionals to cost-effectively improve existing programs and develop new programs.
