Competencies & Assessments

Competency Assessment Template

A competency assessment template should make sign-off consistent without creating unnecessary paperwork.

Template fields

A simple template should capture the person, requirement, assessor, outcome and evidence.

  • Staff member
  • Role
  • Competency
  • Assessment date
  • Assessor
  • Outcome
  • Evidence
  • Follow-up action

Outcome language

Use clear outcomes such as competent, needs development, not assessed or not applicable.

Avoid vague comments as the only status because they are hard to report.
