ABSTRACT

The standard requires the organization to maintain records of education, training, skills and experience.

As the requirement references Clause 4.2.4, the records referred to are records that provide:

● Evidence of the extent to which a person’s abilities fulfil certain competence requirements

● Evidence of activities performed to specify, develop or verify the abilities of a person who is intended to fulfil certain competence requirements

Such records will include a personal development plan indicating the actions to be taken by the organization and the individual in meeting competence requirements as well as the records of the actions taken and records of any measurement and verification of competence. Therefore the records required need to extend beyond lists of training courses, academic qualifications and periods of experience because these only record actions taken and not whether they were planned or whether they achieved the desired result.
