Child Skills sit under a parent skill to complete a Verification of Competency (VoC). Organising these separate assessments, logbooks, or training items as child records ensures that the main attainment—such as an Excavator or Dozer ticket—is only recognised once every specific component has been satisfied.

This guide covers:

• Opening parent skills within the Skills Library.
• Navigating to the Child Skills tab to manage dependencies.
• Typing and selecting existing child skills from your library.
• Using the Add icon to create new child skills on the fly.
• Saving parent–child skill links to complete the VoC structure.

Your compliance framework now accurately reflects the multi-step requirements of complex competencies.

💡 Power User Insight: Structuring your VoCs with Child Skills allows you to track the individual components of a high-risk licence, such as theory exams versus practical assessments. This granular data flow ensures that a parent skill is never flagged as “Achieved” until every underlying child requirement is fully documented and verified.
