Certifications and Qualifications Management

Schools are significant employers, with large permanent, part time and casual staff numbers. A school of 1500 might have >500 on their payroll, both teaching and non-teaching staff. Each school in each state has compliance requirements to ensure staff are suitably qualified and certified to be on school premises and to undertake their duties.

EdSmart’s Certifications and Qualifications Management module enables a school to:

• Maintain a list of documents 

• Capture document details from staff - or the staff add their own

• In some cases automatically verify the document

• Determine documents required for employment for groups of staff

• Schedule automatic re-verification of those required documents

• Easily review the compliance of all staff

Configuring a School’s Certifications and Qualifications

To add and maintain a list of documents you will need to access the Certification and Qualification Configuration page.

There are two types:

1. Global - these are documents global to all EdSmart schools, for example, an Australian Drivers Licence. Most global documents have online verification available, which means EdSmart will automatically verify the legitimacy of the document when it is added to a User.

2. My School - the school can configure any number of its own documents. These need to be added manually.
