Define Competency Levels

Explanation

This activity is used to manually define competency levels for the competency. Each level represents a different level of proficiency in a certain competency (e.g., Competent, Specialist, Expert).
Note: If you manually enter a new level for the competency that is linked to a level template, it will break the link and changes made to the template will no longer be automatically applied to the competency.

Prerequisites

In order to perform this activity, competencies have to be registered in the system.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, competencies will have their proficiency levels defined.

Procedure

1. Open the Competencies window.
2. In the area on the left of the window, select the certificate under which you want to register new proficiency levels. You might need to expand the certificate tree in order to find the relevant competency.
3. On the Competency/competency Levels tab, place your cursor in the Level Name field and add a new record.
4. In the Level Name field, enter the name for the level of proficiency that a competency holder can have.
5. In the Level Points field, enter the number of points assigned to a level. Points can be used to determine the value of a skill based on criteria such as time needed to learn or rarity. This way a level of skill particularly valuable to a company can be given much more value than a lower level. This information is useful, e.g., to estimate a combined "value" of an employee.
6. Save your changes.
