Similarly to requirements, it is possible to list the various qualifications your carers have either achieved or are training towards. You can also use the training section on the carer profile to keep track of their progress in achieving new qualifications. It is possible to make a qualification a requirement for a carer too.

Before you start adding qualifications, you need to create qualification classes. These are the overarching groups that the individual qualifications fall into. For example - Diplomas, Certificates, NVQs are all qualification classes, and the specific area they cover, such as fire safety or first aid, are the qualifications.

To create qualification types, go to Settings > Employees > Qualification Classes, click on the + icon in the top right hand corner and fill out the form that appears.

Here you must enter a name and you can choose to enter a description to easily differentiate between qualification classes. Click create and the new qualification class will be created.

To add new in new qualifications, go to Settings > Employees > Qualifications. Use the + icon in the top right corner to add in a new qualification.

Once you have clicked the + icon, this form will appear:

Here you can enter:

Once the qualification has been created, you can then assign it to a carer.

Go to the carer's training tab by heading to a carer's record and into the training tab. This is where you can add in any qualifications the carer has and any that they are currently working towards.

To add these in, click the + icon on the right hand side and fill out the resulting form.

If the training has not yet been completed, simply choose the qualification from the dropdown, add any relevant additional notes and click save.

Once a completion needs to be added, you can click on the outcome option to bring up the below menu, you can then add the completion date and, where relevant, the expiry date.
