Competence assessment
Many organisations like to measure the understanding of learners at the end of health and safety training - with the aim of checking competence as well as assessing the effectiveness of the training.
Clwyd Associates can support this by:-
- providing feedback on participants observed behaviours
- developing knowledge assessments
- creating scenario-based competence assessments where learners have to apply their knowledge to a realistic site situation e.g. completion of a permit-to-work
Clwyd Associates can mark the competence assessment either providing a score or feedback for each individual learner to act as a coaching mechanism.
Case Studies
When we carry out permit training, we encourage our customers to include competence assessment as part of it. This involves, not only a knowledge assessment test at the end of the training, but also tests participants' application of the training content.
They are asked to answer some questions about the risks associated with a permit scenario and then prepare a permit as if they were controlling the work.
We review the paperwork and give each individual (as well as their employer) feedback on how well they identified/controlled the risks and completed the permit form.
