Verify a practical skill and qualify the person
Make practical skill reviews specific about what was observed
Use selected criteria to record ratings, the observer, practical or on-the-job setting and outcome. The qualification review can see which requirements were demonstrated and which need further evidence.

Verify a practical skill and qualify the person
What did the assessor observe against the selected skill criteria?
The designated specialist works from criteria and skills. The record makes criteria ratings and observer clear to the next person.

Select the working material
Choose criteria and skills from the resources your team uses.
What we prepare togetherThe relevant resources are available for the tasks that use them.
- 02
Agree the responsibilities
Confirm assigned team member, designated specialist and team lead for this method, then choose the people eligible to receive its work.
What we prepare togetherThe method names who contributes, reviews and receives the next work.
- 03
Walk through the selected route
Walk through these conditional steps: “Prepare and demonstrate”.
What we prepare togetherYour team sees the response and the resulting next step before extending the method.

Your questions
Prepare the method for your team
What stays with the recorded response?
The response for this occurrence retains criteria ratings, observer, outcome and setting (practical / on the job). It belongs to the work being reviewed, rather than replacing a different occurrence's record.
Which materials do we need to bring?
Bring criteria and skills. We use those choices to prepare the working context, then check that each task opens the material it needs.
How do the conditional steps become part of the method?
The conditional route is used when the self-recorded demonstration variant is selected for a simulation. Select the variant or respond to the recorded condition before treating that step as required.
What is the outcome for the wider workflow?
Qualification decision recorded with its renewal basis; the skills record updated by the authorized qualifier.
