Competency Assessment
Assessment that measures what people can do, not what they sat through.
Custom rubrics, adaptive difficulty, and multiple evidence types — producing defensible proof that holds up under audit.
What is competency assessment in aerospace training?
Competency assessment measures whether a person can actually perform a task to a defined standard, not whether they completed a course or recognized answers on a quiz. AmpUp Insights assesses people against custom rubrics mapped to your competency frameworks and regulatory requirements, using adaptive difficulty and multiple evidence types such as scenario-based, peer-validated, and supervisor-observed evidence.
Every assessment produces time-stamped, defensible evidence that holds up under audit, which is what regulators in frameworks like FAA, AS9100, ITAR, and DO-178C expect competency programs to show.
Generic quizzes test memory, not capability
A multiple-choice quiz tells you someone recognized the right answer. It does not tell you they can perform the procedure under pressure, document the outcome correctly, or explain their reasoning to a surveyor. Competency assessment requires evidence of what people can do — not what they can recall from a slide deck.
How It Works
Three steps to defensible competency data
Define Rubrics
Build assessment criteria mapped to your specific competency frameworks and regulatory requirements.
Assess Against Standards
Adaptive assessments adjust in real time based on demonstrated competency — not fixed question banks.
Produce Evidence
Every assessment generates time-stamped, defensible evidence ready for audit or board review.
Key Features
Built for regulated environments
Custom Rubrics
Assessment criteria that map to your competency frameworks, not generic quiz templates.
Adaptive Difficulty
Assessments adjust based on demonstrated competency, not a fixed question sequence.
Multiple Evidence Types
Scenario-based, peer-validated, supervisor-observed, and self-reported evidence streams.
Regulatory Mapping
Tie assessments directly to FAA, AS9100, ITAR, and DO-178C requirements.
Audit Trails
Every assessment produces time-stamped, defensible documentation automatically.
Frequently asked questions
A multiple-choice quiz tells you someone recognized the right answer. It does not tell you they can perform the procedure under pressure, document the outcome correctly, or explain their reasoning to a surveyor. Competency assessment produces evidence of what people can do, scored against custom rubrics mapped to your competency frameworks rather than a generic question bank.
Multiple evidence streams: scenario-based, peer-validated, supervisor-observed, and self-reported. Combining evidence types produces defensible proof of capability rather than a single test score.
Yes. Assessments tie directly to FAA, AS9100, ITAR, and DO-178C requirements, so each result doubles as evidence against the specific regulation it supports.
Assessments adjust in real time based on demonstrated competency instead of following a fixed question sequence, so the assessment finds each person's actual capability level.
Every assessment automatically produces time-stamped, defensible documentation, ready for audit or board review.
