5. Working with competencies
Level 1: Select a user
If you are working on your own competencies, then this will just be a case of starting on your
My profile
tab at the bottom of the screen; you will see your profile here automatically
If you are working on one of your supervisees, then first go to
Teams
tab at the bottom, and then tap on the appropriate supervisee:

Level 2: Select “All active competencies”
On the profile page, the first bar you see is the status bar for this user / your own competencies, titled
All active competencies
Tap on it to see a list of competencies

You can also see here the “Job Descriptions” section, which is where supervisors can change the competencies that this person has in their portfolio. See Changing competencies for an existing supervisee for further details.
Level 3: Select the relevant competency
Here you can select from all the competencies currently assigned to this user.
Tapping on the
Current Status
bar will show you the breakdown of competencies by status.
Tapping on the filters underneath will filter for competencies that (L→R)
- Have evidence to review
- Are coming due soon
- Are already late
Tapping on a competency will take you to its overview.

Level 5: Competency stages
Within a competency, you will then be able to see all the stages that are either
- Required - must be completed for the competency to be signed off
- Optional - do not have to be completed for the competency to be signed off
Tapping on any stage will take you into the details of that stage

Already achieved
If the competency can be signed off “Retrospectively”, i.e. by submitting existing evidence of competency rather than completing the stages, then you will see a button that says
Already achieved?
You will not see this button if:
- One or more stages have already been started
- This option has been disabled by the competency author
Tapping on this button will allow the supervisee to submit evidence for the supervisor to sign-off, or the supervisor to sign off directly.
See Retrospective competencies for further details on this feature
