Qualifications - Professional Development Assessment Service

What is the Initial Competence Analysis (ICA)?
ICA consists of 4 stages:

  • Stage 1 - the Self-Assessment Questionnaire that sets out a range of task-based competence criteria for logistics activities matched to the criteria within CILT (UK) qualifications. The candidate completes the questionnaire and a comparison of the responses against benchmark criteria establishes a skills profile and identifies any performance gaps
  • Stage 2 - Assessor Moderation that highlights any inconsistencies or apparent misinterpretations, prior to a one-to-one meeting between the Assessor and the candidate
  • Stage 3 - the ICA Report which shows:
    • Overall level of competence
    • Areas where evidence can be generated
    • Areas where prior learning and experience is indicated
    • Any activities not currently undertaken
    • List of competence shortfalls/gaps
  • Stage 4 - a Personal Development plan is produced identifying:
    • Proposals for dealing with shortfalls/gaps, including identification of solutions to give the individual the opportunity to get the necessary evidence
    • Training and development needs with identification of the options for meeting them
