Task · Part-145

Conduct competence assessments

A qualification says someone learned it. Competence says they can do it — observed, evaluated and recorded in a way that stands up later.

An assessor observing a practical element of a competence assessment.

The work behind it

Part-145 requires competence to be established, not assumed. That means structured assessments: verifying the prerequisites are in place, setting a realistic piece of work, observing how it is performed, and judging both the result and the manner against defined criteria — then recording it all so the judgement is defensible years later.

Run on paper, assessments are hard to standardise between assessors, harder to file, and hardest to defend when an auditor asks how exactly competence was established.

Where it eats time today

Every assessor their own form

Without shared templates, comparability between assessments is a matter of luck.

Paper capture, double work

Observations noted in the hangar, typed up at the desk, filed somewhere third.

The judgement without its basis

"Competent" on a signed sheet, with the criteria and observations lost to the archive.

How cimoio.aero helps

  • Competence assessment

    Run competence assessments digitally, right in the system.

    Carry out competence assessments digitally. The manager works through the questionnaire together with the employee, every criterion is recorded, and the result is stored as a PDF. If required, a workflow has it confirmed before it counts.

    Flexible checklists for competence assessments

    Build your own questionnaires for every kind of assessment.

    Create as many checklists as you need, each tailored to a qualification or authorization, for example Certifying Staff CAT B, borescope inspection or engine run-up. Define the questions and how they are answered, and adapt the checklists at any time.

  • Create & store assessment records

    Every assessment ends with a PDF record of the results.

    At the end of a competence assessment, a PDF record is created that summarises and documents the results: assessment, employee, assessor, date and outcome. It is stored with the employee automatically and is ready whenever an auditor asks for it.
