Knowledge Testing & Assessment Software

Training completion does not necessarily demonstrate understanding.

Many organisations need a structured way to verify knowledge requirements, assess understanding and provide evidence that individuals have achieved required standards before performing responsibilities, applying new procedures or progressing to competency assessment.

Centranum Knowledge Testing & Assessment Software helps organisations validate knowledge requirements through configurable assessments linked directly to job roles, capability requirements, competencies, learning activities and workforce readiness processes.

As part of the broader Workforce Readiness Framework, knowledge testing provides objective evidence that supports competency assessment, workforce readiness and compliance decisions.

Many workforce activities require individuals to demonstrate knowledge before they can safely perform responsibilities or maintain compliance requirements.

Examples include:

• Regulatory and compliance requirements
• Clinical procedures and protocols
• Operational safety requirements
• Equipment operation and maintenance
• Technical procedures
• Product knowledge
• Information security requirements
• Privacy and data protection requirements
• New policies and procedures
• Insurance and underwriting policies
• Professional development requirements

Without structured validation, organisations often rely on training attendance records, acknowledgements or declarations rather than evidence of understanding.

Knowledge testing helps organisations verify understanding and maintain audit-ready evidence of workforce capability.

Knowledge assessments can be linked directly to competencies, competency indicators and capability requirements.

Assessment results can contribute directly to competency assessment outcomes, providing additional evidence to support workforce readiness decisions. Results may update competency assessments at an overall competency level or at a more granular indicator level depending on assessment design.

This approach is particularly useful where knowledge validation forms part of a broader competency assessment process.

Knowledge assessments can also be linked to learning resources, training programmes and development objectives.

For organisations using Centranum Training Management, assessments may form part of course completion requirements. They can also be used independently to verify understanding of policies, procedures, regulatory updates or professional development activities.

Examples include:

• New policy implementation
• Compliance requirements
• Information security awareness
• Clinical protocol updates
• Operational procedure changes
• Professional development activities
• Continuing professional development (CPD)

This approach helps organisations verify understanding rather than simply recording attendance or acknowledgement.

Support organisation-defined assessment formats including:

• Multiple choice questions
• Multiple response questions
• True/false questions
• Matching questions
• Rating Scale
• Short & Long answer questions – evaluator-reviewed responses

Automated and Evaluator Scoring

Questions with predefined answers can be scored automatically,  while other question types can be reviewed and scored by designated assessors.

This flexibility allows organisations to combine objective testing with professional judgement where required.

Organise questions within reusable libraries and categories. Assessment templates can draw from fixed questions or randomly selected questions from defined pools.

Question pools help organisations create reusable assessment content while reducing memorisation and increasing assessment variation.

Assessment Templates –  Create reusable assessment templates containing sections, question pools, scoring rules and competency mappings.

Version Management – Generate multiple versions of assessments from the same template, supporting annual reviews, recertification programmes and ongoing knowledge validation.

Attempts and Reassessment Rules – Configure permitted attempts, reassessment intervals, pass requirements and retesting rules to support organisational policies and compliance requirements.

Automated Assignment

Competency-linked assessments can be assigned automatically based on role requirements, competency requirements or workforce readiness rules.

Learning and Development Integration

Learning-linked assessments can be associated with learning resources, development objectives, policy documents and training programmes.

Multiple Access Points

Employees can access assessments through:

• Home page dashboards
• Development plans
• Training programmes and course materials

Competency Assessment Integration  -‘Assessment outcomes can update competency assessments automatically, including competency-level or indicator-level ratings where configured.

Workforce Readiness Evidence – Assessment results become part of the individual’s workforce readiness record and can contribute to workforce readiness reporting and compliance evidence.

Reporting and Analytics – Monitor completion rates, pass rates, assessment outcomes and workforce readiness indicators across individuals, teams and the organisation.

Knowledge Testing & Assessment works alongside:

• Job Roles and Capability Requirements
• Capability Passport
• Competency Library and Mapping
• Competency Assessment and Analytics
• Development Planning
• Career Development and Succession Planning

Together these capabilities help organisations verify knowledge, assess competence and improve workforce readiness.
