Abstract	In the context of education and training, competency measurement (CM) is a central challenge in competency management. For complex CMs, a compromise must be addressed between the time available and the number of dimensions to be measured or the quality of the measurements. Increasing the efficiency of existing tests for CMs therefore poses a key challenge. An important approach to this challenge is computerized adaptive testing. For CMs, there is currently a lack of integrated adaptive testing tools. This paper presents the implementation, integration and evaluation of an appropriate adaptive component for the example of the learning management system ILIAS used for a CM of health workers. The textbook scenario of a linear testing implementation is compared with concrete results from the adaptive testing tool implementation, and the potential for increasing the test efficiency is demonstrated.
