Hi guys
I need some more advise on ISO 9001.
Specifically, I am struggling to come up with a way of evidencing competency for an individual in our company who has no academic qualifications.
Nevertheless, he is a highly skilled programmer with over 8years experience who's developed extensive skills since leaving school and working his way up. It's just that his skills and competencies have never been formally assessed!
I know that it’s not enough to say “if he was no good at his job we wouldn’t employ him” so how do I prove that he’s competent at his job?
I’ve been mulling it over and the only solution I can come up with is to ‘cherry pick’ various examples of his work that highlight various skills e.g. writing databases, programming software tools etc and then attach a covering assessment sheet on which the director of the company says ‘based on the attached evidence of competency, Mr X is competent and skilled in programming’. Does that sound like the right way forward or am I making it too complicated?
If it is the right way forward, are there any example templates of a competency assessment front sheets I could have a look at?
Just under three weeks until the 2nd audit. It feels like 1 step forward and 2 steps back at the moment
Thanks in advance
Selena
