You can deliver course competencies at a specific proficiency level through classes your enterprise (or an outside supplier) provides. You can then update a learner's personal competency profile after they have successfully gained the competency. You can also set competency prerequisites, competencies learners must or should achieve before they can enroll in a class under a specified course.
For further information regarding the Oracle HRMS competency model used by OLM, see Competencies.
You can also require the instructor of each course to exhibit competencies at specified proficiency levels.
To find instructors qualified to teach a course, see Finding Specific Locales and Instructors.
If enabled, you can update competencies automatically, depending on the default workflow rule chosen:
Notification, Automatic Update after Approval
Notification, Automatic Update without Approval (automatic update occurs without approval)
No Notification, No Auto Update
Notification, Manual Update (learner or manager notified that they must manually update profile)
Even if the default rule is one of the first two, automatic updates will not occur unless one of the following is true:
For offline classes, an administrator or instructor must select the Successfully Attended box under Attendance on the Update Enrollment page.
For online classes, the learner must meet the criterion--a test mastery score, for example--established for the successful completion of the class.
You can also set automation rules at the catalog object level (course, offering, learning path, and learning certification), overriding the default automation rule or the rule set for the offering's parent course.
