    Competency dashboard: what belongs in one

    Most training dashboards report attendance, completion, and satisfaction. A competency dashboard answers a harder question: which people have actually demonstrated which capabilities, on what evidence, and how was that judged.

    This page explains what belongs in a competency dashboard and states plainly which parts ArcProof provides today.

    The six panels that matter

    Competency coverage

    Which competencies a program claims to develop, and which of those have been independently assessed rather than only taught.

    Evidence per person

    For each participant, the specific work product or assessment response that supports each competency claim, retrievable by identifier.

    Scoring provenance

    How each score was produced: which rubric version, when, and whether the scoring happened independently of instruction.

    Credential standing

    Whether a credential is currently active, expired, or revoked, and whether its integrity record still matches.

    Gaps and exceptions

    Participants with missing evidence, incomplete assessments, or unverified claims, so the gaps are visible before an auditor finds them.

    Reporting export

    The same records in a form a funder or auditor can read without access to your learning system.

    Common questions

    What is a competency dashboard?

    A competency dashboard is a single view showing which competencies a group of people have demonstrated, what evidence supports each demonstration, and how each judgment was scored. It differs from a completion dashboard, which only reports whether someone finished a course.

    Why is a completion dashboard not enough?

    Completion records show that instruction was consumed. They do not show that the person can do the work. Funders and auditors increasingly ask for evidence of demonstrated competency, which completion data cannot supply.

    What makes competency data defensible to an auditor?

    Three properties: the assessment is independent of the instruction, the scoring method is consistent and documented, and each individual record can be traced back to the underlying evidence.
