Certify volunteers before their first shift: scored readiness items, a pass line, and a dated certification record for the placement register.
Quick answer
Use it before a volunteer's first shift: a scored readiness check on scenarios, boundaries and procedures against your pass line, a dated certification on the placement register, and a targeted retraining path for anyone who misses an item.
Sending an unready volunteer to a live role risks the people served and the volunteer. This certification runs a scored readiness check — scenarios, boundaries, procedures — against a pass line before the first shift, and records a dated certification against the placement. Those who miss an item get a targeted retraining path from the AI report instead of a vague fail.
