Creating a Training Competency

Competencies are the building blocks for creating training qualifications. It is important to maintain an up to date list of competencies.

Adding a New Competency

Adding a new training competency is a simple process. 

First, navigate to the AVETMISS App inside Salesforce, using the app launcher on the top left hand side of the your screen. Then select 'Competencies'.

From here you can review a full list of the training competencies in the system. 

Select 'New', followed by a type of 'Student Competency'. 

Next, fill out the required details.

  • Competency Code - this provides a unique identifier for the competency e.g HLTAI001
  • Unit Name - this provides a description of the unit of competency
  • Field of Education Identifier - this is a pick list field, defined for AVETMISS reporting requirements
  • Subject Flag - this is a pick list field, defined for AVETMISS reporting requirements
  • VET Flag - is the competency VET certified?
  • Nominal Hours - required training time
  • Delivery Method - this is a pick list field, defined for AVETMISS reporting requirements

Validity (Years) - this is an important field as it is used to automate the calculation of expiration dates
