This article introduces the core concepts of Lucidity Competency, providing a comprehensive foundation for efficient competency management. For more information on Lucidity Competency, see Further reading.
1. Introduction
Lucidity Competency allows the tracking and planning of competencies for a range of employees, casuals and subcontractors. Training records are created against a set of capabilities or Course Catalogue (i.e. course offerings). Roles can be defined to allow a set of capabilities to be grouped and allocated to a group of users.
Reports are generated as both list-style exports to Microsoft Excel as well as to several matrix-style formats.
There are several Quick Reference Guides(QRG's) to provide an introduction to the structure of Lucidity Learning and how the relationship between Lucidity Competency and Lucidity Induction works.
- Training records and eLearning completion: This QRG illustrates the relationship between eLearning courses created in Lucidity Induction and how they can be completed by both self-registered users in Lucidity Induction or by users in Lucidity Competency. In Lucidity Competency, additional capabilities for users can also be manually recorded.

- Training roles: This QRG illustrates how training roles within Lucidity Competency can comprise eLearning courses created in Lucidity Induction as well as capabilities from Lucidity Competency. Roles can be used to create training needs for users as well as generate training needs analysis reporting.

- Contractor onboarding process: This process document illustrates how the responsibility of ensuring subcontractors complete online eLearning inductions and upload licenses and tickets can be given to an external contractor representative. An internal contractor manager only needs to validate the documents entered, limiting internal administrative burden.

- Managing contractor onboarding: Many Lucidity Software modules can be utilised together to manage the full life cycle of companies, contractors and sub-contractors. Lucidity aims to streamline this process and, where appropriate, contractor representatives (administrators from the external company) can be give access to the system to manage their own document and subcontractors, lightening the administrative burden for the organisation.
- Notifications: Email notifications may be sent automatically from the Competency module and can be viewed from the Notifications tab within Lucidity Access.
