Competence enhancement has always been one of the crucial aspects in terms of professional growth of students.  The curriculum of Speech and Hearing provides students with the exposure to a supervised working environment. This allows us to expand students’ clinical skills during the training period. Additionally, it warrants students to be confident and display a high level of clinical competence while dealing with a population becoming increasingly conscious of the services being provided. However, we might not get the opportunity to explore certain facets of clinical practice that may be required in our career at a future date. Hence, in this study, we aim to survey those areas that students perceive to be in need of further learning or training. Furthermore, the effect of COVID pandemic on the development of clinical skills among students at both the bachelor's and master's level is explored.
