What is unconscious competence?

Our courses are based around a well-known approach to competence, a framework that explains the four stages that people move through when learning new skills. Whilst our foundation course is designed to take you to stage 3, our Pillars of Communication Accent Confidence course is designed to help you achieve stage 4, ‘unconscious competence.’ Unconscious competence means that you’re able to speak in a natural, clear, fluid way – without having to think about it. It’s the auto-pilot of communication.

Stage 1
Unconscious Incompetence

You’re at the beginning of your journey, and don’t know what you need to do to improve.

Stage 2

You understand your unique challenges, and areas for improvement.
