This study was conducted to analyse the readiness of Vocational College (KV) lecturers in teaching and learning. The outcome-based education (OBE) approach in vocational colleges brings about changes to the vocational education system in line with the transformation of TVET. OBE is a method of teaching and curriculum design that focuses on learning outcomes. This method has completely replaced the conventional method, which is more centred on examination alone. However, the extent to which KV lecturers understand and are willing to practice OBE in curriculum delivery is yet to be discovered. This study was a quantitative study that used a set of questionnaires as a research instrument. The respondents of this study consisted of 368 lecturers of KV throughout Malaysia. Data collected using questionnaire instrument were analysed using Statistical Package for The Social Science (SPSS) software. The results from the analysis of the study data demonstrated that the level of understanding of KV lecturers on the implementation of OBE approach was at a high level with a mean score of 3.07. Meanwhile, the level of readiness of KV lecturers on the implementation of OBE approach was at a moderate level, which has a mean score of 2.82.
