order.The course equivalency screen is accessed through Reference Data/Course Equivalencies menu options and it allows you to define courses that are equivalent to one another. This information is used when displaying the suggested and required training prerequisites for a person’s Target Position, which is accessed through the Certifications/Target Positions menu option. If a suggested or required training has an equivalent course defined, an asterisk “*” will appear next to that prerequisite course code. If a person has completed the equivalent course, a check will appear in the box next to that course prerequisite.
Both the course code and the equivalent course code must be in the IQS system prior to defining an equivalency. If the course code is not in the drop down list, exit this screen and add that course via the Reference Data/Courses menu option.
NOTE: Clicking the mouse on most of the column headings will allow the user to sort that column by ascending or descending order.
The search box can be used to search for a specific course code or a piece of a course name. The search will return all courses equivalent to the search string specified.
