Most users in SkillGuard are able to award at least one type/level of competency. If the competency is configured as Awardable by Access Controller then it can also be awarded via the Mobile App and Web Card Reader. The types of competency each user has permission to award is restricted, so please be aware that, depending on the user role, some of the functionality described below will not be available.
As an Approved Training Provider, you can award one or more Assignable Competencies to an individual or group of recordholder’s, provided it is a competency or qualification that your provider organisation is approved to award on the system.
There are three different methods through which Assignable Competencies can be awarded: via the CourseSight Training Management System, the SkillGuard API, or as a Training Provider within SkillGuard.
Some competencies are awardable by all permitted users, including Training Providers. These are not displayed in this list but can be selected when awarding Competencies. You will need to know the Surname, SkillGuard Number, and Date of birth of any recordholder being awarded competencies by you in SkillGuard.
In SkillGuard, a competency is defined as any competence or
training which could be awarded to a recordholder. This may vary from a
National Qualification to a Site Induction. Competencies make up a large portion of the SkillGuard system, so we have broken it down into several guides within this section.
The following guides are available to help you manage competencies:
