Competences allows you to register and manage your employees' professionel competences, such as certifications or certain courses attended. For instance, competences could be "Forklift certified" if you work with moving material in warehouses, or "Security clearance" if you work with clients that require employees to be security cleared before working at their sites.

These competences can be attached to tasks, companies or equipment in Microbizz. This serves to avoid the planning or allocation of tasks to employees without the required competences, thus ensuring compliance and quality.
