Competency-based assessment (CBA), as one of the main functions in human resource, has attracted many researchers and practitioners including in the field of technical and vocational education and training (TVET). In today’s world of work, the practice of competency-based assessment is necessary to enhance the future level of knowledge, skills, and abilities of an employee. Tools such as a competency measurement instrument that is valid and reliable to measure TVET teacher competencies should be developed. With few existing instruments identified through a systematic literature review procedure, a needs study has been conducted regarding the need for this instrument. This study employed a quantitative research method and data was collected through a survey where a questionnaire was the main instrument. The finding among 40 respondents revealed that 90% of respondents agreed with the need to develop an instrument to measure TVET teacher competencies. This paper presents the need findings to develop a new instrument to measure TVET teacher competencies namely the Ma-TVETTCM Instrument. This study also discusses a few suggestions for future studies toward understanding the competency elements required for TVET teachers.
