## Reviews

### "Excellent" — 5.0/5

> **Melissa** | *11 March 2022* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I find Competency cloud very logical and easy to use.  I also like the fact the team are open to suggestions/new ideas when I put them forward.  The training matrix side of competency cloud is really clear and the training pathway helps so you can remember who you are suggesting for training.
> 
> **Cons**: I would like it to have a read receipt for the broadcasts.  Also, I wonder if there is anyway to link the broadcasts in with our website updates so have a RSS feed from our website/twitter pages which links and sends a broadcast out too.
When you are updating a training course is it possible when you have updated the employee training it let gives you an option to go back to that training course instead of you having to start from the start and find the training course/person again.

### "Use of Competency cloud" — 4.0/5

> **Sofia** | *6 April 2022* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It has features such as employee training courses, tracking of their completed training, PPE issed etc. that are very useful.
> 
> **Cons**: Competencies and Trades are not very straightforward to use. You cannot really track the competency levels of an employee. 

Evidence of training completing by signatures would also be a plus.
Employees Holidays tracking tool could be added as a function.

### "A Game Changer" — 5.0/5

> **Nick** | *11 January 2022* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
>
