- Run yearly per course. Carried out by the training coordinator.
- The template holds 52 fields across 5 sections.
- Scoring is effectiveness percent, where high is good.
- ISO 45001 is occupational health and safety management systems. The international standard for managing worker health and safety. Certifiable, and the backbone of most of this library.
- It connects to the rest of the library: links Course, Observations.

This review 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

- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form TER-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 course, observations
Not for
- Training Attendance Record, which records who attended a training session, when and who delivered it.
- Anything outside KnowTrain, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
