Workflow
Search for the Scheduled Unit where you want to add the competency.
With the Scheduled Unit loaded, choose Units > Unit Details > Unit Competency Edit menus on the side.
Enter any combination of Competency Id, Competency Name, and Field of Education code (Paradigm requires at least one search criteria.)
Click the SEARCH UNIT button. This will return a list of all the competency codes that match your searched criteria.
NOTE:
If you can’t find the competency code in the system, you have the option to add it by clicking the ADD COMPETENCY button, just below the search button. Refer to the table above for a description of each field, or refer to this government website for the list of codes: Australian Standard Classification of Education (ASCED), 2001 (Field of Education)
Click the hyperlink of the competency record that you want to add, and change the details as required.
Click the SAVE UNIT button to add the competency code to the scheduled unit.
