How is e-skills Passport used?

e-skills Passport is completely customisable & tailored to your organisation’s needs, allowing for a great deal of flexibility.

Organisations can:

  • add and manage users & secured accounts;
  • create & maintain ITQ and job profiles; and
  • add specialist in-house training to be recommended to users to help bridge skills gaps.

Reports can be created instantly, providing you with graphical and spreadsheet outputs for monitoring & measuring learner progress.

After customising the product to fit your organisation’s needs, learners start by self-assessing their current skills against common computing techniques. This is done by answering a simple series of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions about their capabilities.

Existing qualification achievements can be validated in e-skills Passport to provide evidence of learners’ abilities and determine if previous achievements could count towards gaining an ITQ qualification. A learner’s self-assessed skills profile can then be submitted for agreement by their manager or learning advisor before planning learning.

Based on targets agreed with the learner and their employer, the system identifies skills gaps and recommends learning that will help progression.

Users re-visit their Passports again and again as skills improve allowing organisations to monitor progress on an individual or organisation wide basis.
