Competency Groups

Competency groups can be created for convenient assignment to job profiles. For example, if you frequently reference the same competencies when defining management-related job profiles, you can create a competency group called Management. Then, when defining management job profiles, you can assign the group rather than individual competencies, when defining management job profiles. 

You can assign a certification to a competency group. The certification is awarded to learners who acquire all of the competencies in the group.
