1. Role-based competence requirements
Define required knowledge, skills, courses, controlled documents, and assessment methods for each job, role, or quality-critical task.
Training & Competency Management — Coming Soon
Coming Soon — RoadmapConnect training to demonstrated competence and role requirements
QSigma360 is developing a standalone module designed to connect job requirements, training plans, content, assignments, assessment, and competence evidence in one workflow. The aim is not simply to record course attendance. It is to help an organization demonstrate that people performing work affecting quality or food safety received appropriate training and showed the required level of competence.
Profile data, read-and-acknowledge elements, and selected AI assistance exist today. The training matrix, examinations, certificates, and full integration with procedure changes remain target capabilities. The module is not production-ready.
Roadmap concept
Why attendance records are not enough
Attendance shows presence, not necessarily understanding or ability. Gaps appear when a role changes, a procedure becomes effective, or a certificate expires without recalculating requirements. The QSigma360 vision connects each requirement to the role, content version, assessment, result, and evidence.
Target capabilities
2. Filterable training matrix
Bring together people, requirements, assignments, completion, tests, and expiry, with filters for site, department, role, course, and status.
3. Plans, content, and assignments
Support controlled documents, instructor-led sessions, practical training, video, tests, and approved external sources while retaining the content version used.
4. Controlled read and acknowledge
Link acknowledgement to user identity, document version, and completion time. Reading remains distinct from proving competence unless approved policy defines otherwise.
5. Competence tests and assessments
Use pass criteria, permitted attempts, examinations, and practical assessments reviewed by an authorized trainer or assessor, with retraining where required.
6. Certificates, renewal, and visibility
Track certificate validity, expiry, retraining, and competence gaps, then surface them in reports after full implementation.
Target workflow
- 1Define the role: Set required knowledge, skills, content, and assessment method.
- 2Calculate the gap: Compare role requirements with each person’s current status without erasing history.
- 3Assign training: Select the content version, due date, and completion method.
- 4Deliver and assess: Record attendance, acknowledgement, examination, or practical evaluation.
- 5Confirm competence: An authorized trainer or assessor reviews evidence and the result.
- 6Monitor and renew: Track expiry, retraining, and changes that create new requirements.
Planned integration with clear governance
The vision connects training with Document Control, Change Control, HACCP, Audits, CAPA, and Risk Management. A future workflow can identify groups affected by a new procedure and the required training method. AI may draft learning objectives or questions, but it will not issue certificates or determine competence. Human authorization and evidence remain essential.

Frequently asked questions
Is the module fully available today?
No. Training & Competency Management is a standalone roadmap module. Its complete operational cycle, tests, and integrations are not yet production-ready.
What exists today?
Related profile data, read-and-acknowledge elements, and selected AI assistance exist, but they do not constitute a complete training and competence system.
Does acknowledging a document prove competence?
Not automatically. The roadmap distinguishes content acknowledgement from demonstrated ability unless an approved policy makes acknowledgement sufficient for a specific requirement.
Will AI award certificates?
No. AI may suggest draft content or questions; it cannot approve a result, issue a certificate, or replace an authorized trainer or assessor.
