When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This record is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this record covers has occurred, or is about to
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form LICV-2026-000
- You are running the Worker Competency and Credentials programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links worker
Not for
- Certification Register, which holds each worker's external certifications, tickets and licences with expiry dates.
- Certification Renewal Record, which records the renewal of a certification before it expires.
- External Training Record, which records training delivered by an outside provider, with certificate attached.
- Anything outside KnowTrain, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
