Competency Testing Software Benefits

Construction

• Offers an easy and systematic way to check users’ understanding of the contents of a specific version of a document through a multiple choice testing format.
• Each test’s question bank can vary in size. It recognises the concept of a mandatory question as one that must always be asked and answered correctly.
• Assessments can be scheduled to run immediately or at any time in the future as long as the document version is still viewable. Each assessment will have a predetermined number of attempts for it to be passed. Once an assessment is passed or has expired it disappears from a user’s private profile. 

Running

• Jumbles up the order and the selection of questions each time an assessment is run. This ensures the integrity of the testing process.
• Tests are available to all users that have access to a document for which a test has been built. A test remains displayed until it has either been passed or has expired.
• Tests can, at any time, be changed, with questions added, deleted or modified, or the entire test can be deleted.
• Previously run assessments are stored by the system with each assessment being given a unique identifier number, which allows each assessment’s details to be retrieved and analysed.
• Reduces liability because provides proof that staff have understood what is required of them. Can also be used to confirm compliance.
• Assessments can be taken from any remote location. In addition to field based staff this can include suppliers, sub-contractors etc… who have access to the Internet and to isoTracker. 

Training Records

• Training records are held in isoTracker and are instantly updated when an assessment has been passed.
• Training activity taken outside of isoTracker can also be recorded on an individual’s training records. 

Training Matrix

• Identified trainers can check on the status of training activity relating to documents accessed under isoTracker. This means that a trainer will, at any time, know the knowledge testing status of each user for each currently issued version of a document.
• Testing status information is displayed in easily understandable format. Different colour codes and dates are used to record and report when users have passed or failed tests.
• Print out the matrices and include them in performance reports.
