Abstract. The paper reveals problems in describing and assessing competences in higher professional education. The difficulties are conditioned by ambiguous interpretations of the notions "competence" and "competency" within the competence-based approach. The author systematizes the existing definitions of "competence"/"competency", identifies requirements to be observed when developing assessment tools, highlights certain problems concerning validity of assessment tools within the framework of the competence-based approach in higher professional education. Scientific originality of the study involves identifying some essential restrictions in competence assessment (conducted basically in the form of a test) associated with the problem of securing meaningful and prognostic validity. The research findings are as follows: the author shows that teachers can’t ensure meaningful and prognostic validity of the assessment tools they develop, especially when it concerns personal competence assessment.
