Qualifications are labels you define to describe skills, training, or authorizations that matter to your agency. Unlike certifications, which come from external organizations and have expiration dates, qualifications are entirely yours to create and manage.

Opening qualifications

  1. Click your name at the bottom of the navigation to open the profile dropdown.
  2. Click Settings.
  3. Open the Qualifications card.

The table shows Name, Description (hidden by default — toggle it on with the columns control), and Users in Company.

Creating a qualification

  1. Click Add Qualification in the header.
  2. Enter a clear, specific Name. Good examples: Pump Operator, Hazmat Technician, Field Training Officer, CPR Instructor.
  3. Add a Description if it helps explain when the qualification applies.
  4. Save.

Editing or deleting

Use the row actions to edit or delete a qualification. Delete asks you to confirm before it removes the record.

How qualifications are used

Once a qualification exists, it can be tagged on each person in your agency. The Users in Company column on this page tells you at a glance how many people currently hold each one. That makes it easy to answer questions like "How many field training officers do we have?"

Keeping the list clean

Over time, you might end up with qualifications that overlap or are no longer relevant. Review the list once a year and remove or rename any that are not being used. A short, accurate list is more useful than a long, messy one.

Example

Your agency starts a new swift-water rescue program. You open Settings, click Qualifications, click Add Qualification, enter "Swift Water Rescue Technician," and save. Later, as each person completes the training, they get tagged with that qualification. When the next flood season arrives and you need to staff a rescue team, you can see everyone who holds the qualification at a glance.
