What happens automatically
When an Assessor assesses a candidate through Ausmed Assess and records a Not Yet Competent (NYC) outcome, a different set of events happen automatically to the ones triggered by a Competent outcome:
| Event | What it means |
|---|---|
| A competency outcome record is created in Ausmed Competency™ | This evidences that the assessment took place. |
| The outcome is flagged on the Competency Dashboard | This surfaces the result so managers can follow up. |
Why no learning record is created
Since the candidate hasn't demonstrated competence, there's nothing for Ausmed Learn™ to mark as complete. No learning record is created, and no learning requirements are affected — this is different to what happens when a Candidate is assessed as Competent.
Following up on a NYC outcome
Every Not Yet Competent outcome should carry a record of action taken in response — using the Action Log.
What the candidate sees
The candidate is notified by email about their outcome and can view their result in the staff portal, including any Assessor feedback.
