For some company, employees are expected to pass company-defined competency exams in orders to perform those jobs. For example, new project managers need to be certified within 3 years in order to continue in the project management job.



This is a company-defined competency (or certification). An outside group tell not be shutting your business down if some of your people fail the certification exam. You can continue to have employees performing the job even before they are certified. And you can choose to have them con¬tinue to perform the job even. if they fail the exam. (Although you probably don’t want them doing it for long if they continue failing the exam). You are not bound to meet a deadline set by an outside regula¬tory organization-for example, you don’t have a yearly recerti¬fication that you must meet. You can be more flexible about the time limits within which all the training and exams must be completed. At stake is your ability to get high performance from your employ¬ees in certain jobs - where passing the competency exam is the mark of a certain skill level. You expect your business to run more productively when these key jobs are staffed to a predefined skill level.

The solution approach here, is centered on a learning management system (LMS). You need the LMS to manage the overall training program. You could never keep track of all the employees and how far they’ve progressed if you had to do it manually.
