How do I manage driver licence validity in competencies?

Depending on your needs there are TWO way you can manage driver’s licences with different validity periods in Nightingale’s Staff Competencies.

1. You wish to use the Driver’s Licence competency in ‘Find Available Staff’

This will require “converting” all driver’s licence types into a single competency:

Create the Driver’s Licence competency with the validity of the longest type of driver’s licence. In our example that’s 5 years (60 months).

When adding driver’s licence details for staff members who have licences of shorter durations you will need to enter a ‘completion date’ that will result in the competency expiring on the correct date. In our example this would mean entering a completion date for a 1yr licence 4 years earlier than the date the licence was attained. With the 5yr validity of our Driver’s Licence competency this will result in the staff member’s competency expiring after the correct 1yr.

2. You just want to use the Driver’s Licence competency as a way to track and ensure some/all of your staff have a current driver’s licence.

For this scenario the simplest solution is to create separate competencies for the different driver's licence validity durations. See the setup below:
