Send a self assessment quiz
A self assessment quiz asks someone to rate themselves 1–5 stars on every skill of a role. It's handy for experienced hires and for deciding where their training should start. Only training management sends them and reads the answers.
Send a quiz
- Go to Training → Trainees → Self-assessments and click Send self assessment quiz. Admins can also do this from Clinic Settings → Training & SOPs → New hires → Self assessment quiz.
- Add people one at a time with Add a person…, or click a role under Add a whole role:.
- For each person, pick the role to Rate against….
- Set a Due (optional) date if you like.
- Click Send to [number] people.
They get a notification. People who already have a quiz waiting aren't listed.
Take the quiz
If you've been sent one, a card on My training says "Rate yourself on your [role] skills". Click Start.
- Rate each skill from 1 to 5 stars: Brand new to this, Learning, Can do it with help, Confident or Could teach it.
- Add a comment on any skill if it helps.
- Answer Anything else about your experience? (optional).
- Click Send to management. You need to rate every skill first.
Be honest. It helps plan your training, and it isn't a test.
Read the results
On Trainees → Self-assessments, use the Show filter to see Results or Waiting. Open a result to see each rating and comment, grouped by category, plus the person's average. Skills they're already signed off on are marked.
You can cancel a quiz that's still waiting, or remove a finished one, from the bottom of its panel.
