How to manage competency levels

Competency levels are the proficiency scale you assess people against — for example Beginner, Competent, Expert. Once set up, they're available when assessing users against their job role requirements.

Who this is for: Company administrators and system administrators.

Before you start
  • You need a company administrator or system administrator account.

  • Decide on the scale you want before you begin, so your levels read consistently.

Open competency levels
  1. Select Competency Levels in the left-hand menu (under the Setup heading).

The page lists your existing levels with their Name and Description.
