Each occupation requires certain skills and capabilities necessary to pursue that profession. However, occupational standards are only a description of those desired skills. A curriculum is an important part of developing an effective and productive workforce. Therefore, this research presents a method/concept for designing a competency-based curriculum using the principles of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and use the National Occupational Standards (NOS) as a source of basic information for development by converting competency units into the curriculum, The goal is to be a competency-based curriculum for online competency-based training because due to the current situation, learning is more likely to be online platforms. The occupational standard of data analyst is used to demonstrate the process of this work. The conceptual framework was assessed using the Delphi technique by 10 experts. The results show that the proposed framework is suitable for developing a competency-based curriculum. As a result of this method, the curriculum is complete and consistent with occupational standards.
