Skills & qualifications can be setup to ‘comprise of’ one or more other qualifications.
For instance, a ‘Supervisor’ skill might require numerous assessments & other skills to all be present and in-date.
If any of the dependent skills/qualifications are missing or expire, this will result in the related skill/qualifications to also become listed as ‘Competencies required’ rather than being ‘current’.
The above diagram shows the first-aid-certificate being required as part of the ‘Supervisor’ role. In this instance, the first-aid-certificate is either missing, or has expired, which means the corresponding ‘Supervisor’ skill/qualification is listed as ‘Competencies required’ and no longer current.
More complex scenarios
In some cases, a qualification might have a dependency whereby alternate requirements need to be factored in, for example;
For a person to work as a Paramedic, you might require them to have;
A working with children check
Drivers licence
And, any one of the following approved qualifications (taken from: https://www.paramedicineboard.gov.au/education/qualifications.aspx );
Diploma of Paramedical Science
