What is a qualification?

A qualification is the collection of requirements a worker or subcontractor company must complete in order to become compliant and gain access to a worksite. Components of a qualification can include safety orientation courses, OSHA 10/30, SafePass, other certifications, as well as basic worker information, such as their date of birth, phone number, and emergency contact details.

Some key things to keep in mind when creating a qualification:

You should have already created the course for this qualification as outlined in the Creating a Course article.
Gather any forms of data you would normally require a worker to provide you at orientation.
Make sure you have specified any fields that contain sensitive information so that the system can track and notify if any administrator has requested to see this information for a particular user in GoContractor.
If you have courses and orientations for different languages this is the time to generate an additional version of your qualifications to assign to a Project.
After you create a qualification, you must then apply it to your project.

Note: The following instructions detail specifically how to create and apply a worker qualification. To learn how to create and apply a subcontractor qualification, click here.
