In order to ensure competence and awareness we will:

• Determine the necessary competence for all personnel/job functions using a competency matrix.

• Provide appropriate training or other programmes based on an assessment of competency.

• Evaluate the effectiveness of training through a variety of measures and management processes.

• Maintain records of education, training, skills and experience

• Engage all employees in their own personal development.
