Based on the results of literature review, a list of core competencies for foreign domestic worker in family was then compiled and used as the basis to design the initial questionnaire for the first Delphi expert survey. Altogether, three rounds of Delphi surveys were conducted with the results comprehensively revised and verified by experts. The identified competencies and skills were then examined by their frequencies, means, and modes, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov one sample test and other statistical methods were performed for data analysis. A total of 46 core competencies emerged (41 of them were essential skills required for pre-service foreign domestic worker in family) in the following four major categories (further encompassing 12 sub-categories): physical care, daily care, accident and emergency management, and interpersonal relationship and professional ethics. Results of the research project can be expected to assist related authorities in planning effective pre-service and on-the-job training programs for foreign domestic worker in family.
