Midmak Professional Development and Competency Building Framework
Midmak International Academy adopts an integrated framework for professional development and competency building, dedicated to advancing human capital and developing professional competencies in alignment with international standards and professional best practices, within the framework of accreditation and professional collaboration with the American Board – California.
The framework is built upon two complementary components:
First: Midmak Integrated Competency Building Methodology
“An Integrated Journey for Building Competencies… From Discovering Potential to Professional Empowerment and Creating Impact.”
A developmental journey designed to transform individual potential into effective professional competencies through a progressive pathway:
Tarshid → Ta’teer → Ta’sees → Tamheer → Tamheen
Second: Midmak Professional Competency Pathway Framework
A structured system for designing professional development pathways that connects knowledge, skills, and professional competencies through progressive levels:
Main Professional Levels:
Qualification → Development → Specialization
Competency Levels:
Beginner → Intermediate → Advanced
This framework provides an integrated approach for building competencies and measuring their development, leading to professional readiness, excellence, and sustainable impact.
First: Midmak Integrated Competency Building Methodology
“An Integrated Journey for Building Competencies… From Discovering Potential to Professional Empowerment and Creating Impact.”
Midmak International Academy adopts the Midmak Integrated Competency Building Methodology as an institutional framework and scientific approach for developing human capital and preparing professional competencies in accordance with international standards and best practices in training, qualification, and professional consulting.
The methodology is based on a holistic vision that recognizes competency building as more than a standalone training process; rather, it is a comprehensive development journey that begins with identifying potential and capabilities, guiding individuals toward suitable pathways, designing qualification routes, building knowledge and competencies, enhancing practical skills, and ultimately achieving professional empowerment and workforce readiness.
The methodology aims to develop professionals who possess a balanced integration of knowledge, skills, and professional competencies, enabling them to adapt to change, pursue continuous learning, innovate, compete effectively, and contribute to the advancement of organizations and communities and the achievement of sustainable development.
The Midmak Integrated Competency Building Methodology consists of five interconnected stages representing a comprehensive professional development journey:
- Tarshid – Guidance
Discovering Potential and Guiding Pathways
Tarshid represents the starting point of the competency-building journey, where individual capabilities, interests, potentials, and initial competencies are identified, guiding individuals toward the academic or professional pathways that best align with their abilities, aspirations, and labor market needs.
- Ta’teer – Framework Design
Designing Pathways and Building the Qualification Framework
This stage focuses on analyzing needs, identifying targeted competencies, and designing training and qualification pathways based on a clear competency-driven methodology to achieve development objectives and enhance the quality of outcomes.
- Ta’sees – Foundation Building
Developing Knowledge and Professional Competencies
This stage aims to establish the essential scientific, professional, and knowledge foundation by providing learners with core and specialized knowledge and developing the competencies required for professional growth, advancement, and excellence.
- Tamheer – Skills Development
Enhancing Skills and Professional Practice
Tamheer focuses on transforming knowledge into practice by developing applied skills and professional capabilities through practical training, simulation, and real-world experiences, enhancing performance quality and advancing professional practice.
- Tamheen – Professional Qualification
Preparing for Professional Practice and Empowerment
Tamheen represents the final stage of the competency-building journey, where individuals are prepared for workforce integration and professional practice according to quality standards and professional excellence, achieving readiness, competitiveness, and the ability to create impact.
Methodology Philosophy
The Midmak Integrated Competency Building Methodology is founded on the principle that professional competency is not built through knowledge alone or skills alone, but through an integrated system that begins with discovering potential, progresses through competency development and skills enhancement, and culminates in professional empowerment and the ability to create sustainable impact.
Through this approach, the methodology provides an integrated framework for transforming individual potential into effective professional competencies, and competencies into added value that contributes to building a more competitive and sustainable future.
Second: Midmak Professional Competency Pathway Framework
Midmak International Academy adopts a progressive hierarchical framework for designing professional pathways, connecting knowledge, skills, and professional competencies, while defining stages of professional growth in a clear, measurable, and assessable manner.
The framework enables learners to progress systematically through successive levels, beginning with qualification, advancing through development, and reaching specialization and professional excellence.
The framework consists of three main professional levels:
- Qualification Level
Building foundational knowledge and core professional competencies required to enter the field.
- Development Level
Enhancing practical skills, improving performance, and strengthening professional capabilities.
- Specialization Level
Deepening professional expertise and developing advanced capabilities leading to excellence and professional mastery.
Each main professional level progresses through three competency stages:
Beginner → Intermediate → Advanced
Professional competency levels are determined through the integration of the main professional level and the competency development stage, enabling the design of precise training pathways, measurement of professional growth, and systematic progression toward higher levels of performance and professional excellence.
Midmak Framework Philosophy
Midmak believes that professional competency is built through the integration of knowledge, skills, and practice, and that human development is the foundation for building organizations and communities capable of innovation, competitiveness, and sustainable development.
