Competency Software Resources

This section provides program directors with resources and training materials for use of the new Competency software (formerly known as Competency.AI), which will be accessible spring 2024.

Competency is a competency-tracking software developed by Education Management Solutions (EMS) for ACEND-accredited programs. The software is intended to help programs streamline competency tracking, assist in identifying at-risk learners, and help programs adhere to curriculum data collection requirements as noted in the ACEND Accreditation Standards.

Materials in this section include PDF user guides for the various roles within the software and video tutorials for program directors, preceptors (includes faculty) and students.
