SECTION D
LEARNING CHECKLIST
INTRODUCTION
The learner must monitor his progress using the Learning Checklist in Section D of this Portfolio.
This checklist will be scrutinised by the Supervisor to assist with the scheduling of an Authorisation Assessment
date.
The competent Authorised Person not only needs to purely be authorised in terms of the ORHVS, but needs
to have the knowledge, skills and attitude in order to carry out all of his duties safely and to the best of his
ability. To this end there are many other competencies that he will need, so that he can perform basic
maintenance of the system under his authorisation, standby duties, assist his colleagues and be a true asset
to the business.
The responsibility to ensure competency rests with the learner, but it is up to his supervisor to prioritise and
compact with him on learning programmes that he will need in order to perform his duties and also to further
his personal development.
VERIFICATION SIGNATURES – MEANING

 Incumbent; His/her signature is binding and declaring that he/she has done the relevant learning as
the subject title describes.
 Coach; His/her signature declare that the candidate attended the relevant learning.
 Certificate; If the Coach is not available for the verification signature the certificate reference number
should be filled in. If no number on the certificate you must allocate your personal reference number
on the certificate that is uniquely identifiable. All certificates to be filed in section I of this POE.
 Line Manager/Snr Supervisor; His/her signature verifies the validity and correctness of the relevant
learning. He/she must ensure that the relevant learning was done by the incumbent.
I declare that I understand the meaning of the verification signatures.
