Yesterday, RoSPA announced a National Core Competence Benchmark initiative.
From a quick look this morning, it looks like it could be useful although I can already foresee some problems.
I just wondered what members think of this and what alternative systems there are in place that you know of.

I'm a bit surprised this went by without comment, does no one have an opinion on this scheme?
I arrange training for personnel here and think this could be a useful tool to identify appropriate training for people at different levels - hopefully by being a national benchmark is should allow different organisations to follow training trends.
I think this will help ensure competency in general.
One initial problem I can see is that people may rely on a scheme such as this and not consider other ways that competencies can be developed other than attending a course.

Hi Marcus
When I tried the search facility it didn't work for me.
My initial reactions are
(a) Every organisation is different. The training requirements for e.g. the manager procuring facilities management for one company could be substantially different from those of another organisation (not least taking into account different levels of prior experience of such activity)
(b) This means that an organisation may not adequately think through their training and competence requirements, being over-reliant on the opinions of RoSPA.
(c) Oh, no, not ANOTHER competence or passport scheme - we've been trying to get cross-acceptance between various schemes in construction.
(d) But, all in favour of the electronic smart cards.
Regards, Peter

Thank you Peter.
I agree that not taking prior experience into account could be a problem - hopefully people will still think about what is really needed rather than relying on this scheme (or any of the passport schemes for that matter).
I still think this has promise and should give people some idea of what level of training those in certain roles should have.
