Competency Verification

The process used to confirm that a TQP participant has obtained the knowledge associated with a specific competency or competencies in a technical qualification standard through one or more of the following techniques: oral evaluation, written examination, documented equivalences, or completion or approved training courses that confirm attainment of specific knowledge requirements. The depth and breadth of the competency verification activity may be tailored based on a review or work products and the experience of the TQP participant being evaluated. Competency verification activities are done by designated qualification officials and the results of the selected verification techniques are documented in the eTQP or subsequent system.
