A collection of prior work or results, assessed against fixed criteria.
Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Drafts a programme for one work instruction using a template and submits it to the trainer. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Designs a training of several sessions with clear objectives and assessment moments and delivers it to a group personally. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Determines the training model of the organisation, chooses didactic principles and aligns programmes with strategic workforce questions. sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession |
N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.
