    Hi sir,
    I wonder the Differences between competencies and compentences, cuz there are sometimes compentencies in the answer but sometimes competencies in the answer. As a second language student, i am quite confused about that.
    Thanks

    I wouldn’t worry too much.

    In effect, competence and competency are interchangeable,

    Competence is more often used to describe a person’s general ability, while competency is more often used to describe a person’s ability to perform a certain task.
