Competencies can be set up in the RIW system with various combinations of verification settings.

A competency can require evidence and/or verification. 

If a competency has been defined as requiring evidence and verification, all uploaded evidence will be submitted to the RIW Service Desk for approval. 

The RIW Service Desk review the submitted evidence against the Business Rules which have been developed by industry. The Business Rules provide consistency and an agreed minimum acceptance criteria for the verification of competency across RIW Program participants.

Where a competency has been submitted for verification, the progress of the competencies that are awaiting evidence verification can be monitored and maintained via the Competencies Pending Verification shortcut.
