Examples include a training course, a conference or an exam.'Assessment' - Signifies completion of an Event. Assessments also track the sum of CPD points a member has currently earned.'Extra' - A question that can be asked when a member is completing an assessment.'Event Type' - A type may assigned to an Event in order to link the Event with Extras (questions) pertaining to an Assessment.Note: A member earns CPD points by completing Events.
Adding an assessment for a member
To add an Assessment for a member, you must firstly select that member from your organisation's member list (member list via > Members tab on your LHS tabs menu).
Then select the > CPD tab from your horizontal tabs menu.
From this page you can view all the current assessments that this member has completed.
To add another assessment for an event you must select the "Add Points" button.
From the 'Add a new assessment' dropdown box, SELECT the applicable Event. Any associated Extras questions will be displayed (example 'what was your Exam Score').TIP: If the applicable Event has not already been created in Currinda, you can create it immediately by selecting the 'Create new event' option from the dropdown menu.
As an administrator, you will be able to also set whether, or not, the member has achieved a 'Passed' status. Assessments that do not have a 'Passed' check option will not count towards a user's total Assessment/CPD points.Upon submission of the 'Add a new assessment' form, a new Assessment for that Event will be created.
