Interpret TRACCESS Capability Assessments

There are two types of TRACCESS Capability Assessments:

• using an existing Document

• using the Internal Capability Assessment Editor

Prior to using TRACCESS for learning, companies had to ensure competence of a practical component in some way.  This often consisted of checklists or procedures, that the Supervisor used to sign off an employee on a particular task.  There was often a lot of time that went into the design of these documents.  If such documents already exist, and you wish to continue using these documents to sign off the practical component of a Task, the Capability Assessment function allows an SME to link to one of these documents.

However, if such a document does not already exist, or if you wish to enter each step into TRACCESS, the Internal Capability Assessment Editor allows you to do so.

The following graphic illustrates a sample TRACCESS Capability Assessment, which was created using the Internal Editor.

Within TRACCESS, a capability assessment is used by several roles to achieve different purposes:

• Subject Matter Experts - add a Capability Assessment property to a Task, populate the Capability Assessment with relevant Actions and Action Items, and add/ remove experts to evaluate successful completion of the Capability Assessment

• Learners - view the Capability Assessments attached to a particular Task, ensure that they are able to perform the required actions, and request a Capability Assessment from their Supervisor.

• Supervisors - receive a request for a Capability Assessment from a Learner, schedule a time to complete the Capability Assessment (done outside of TRACCESS), and open and submit a completed Capability Assessment.

A completed capability assessment that obtains the set pass mark will satisfy the Practical component of the Task, and therefore turn the Practical component of the Task to black.
