© BEIESP. Competency is regarded as one of the main elements related to human resource development because it supports the aims of an organisation and the capabilities of its employees. This paper aimed at finding out the differences of the TVET teachers’ perceptions on competency (Thinking, Organizational and Application Competencies) across the three categorises of Nigerian tertiary institutions (University, Polytechnics, and College of Education) based on Malaysian Human Resource Development Practitioners (MHRDP) Competency Model. The study was quantitative by nature and 218 questionnaires were distributed to TVET teachers in five tertiary institutions based on stratified sampling technique. A total of 205 questionnaires were retrieved and ANOVA was conducted for data analysis. The present findings revealed that there was no statistically significant differences of the TVET teachers’ perceptions across the three categorises of Nigerian tertiary institutions in terms of Thinking Competency, Organisational Competency, and Application Competency. This outcome reflects that the competency model (MHRDP) can be used by TVET teachers regardless of their affiliated TVET institutions.
