Thank you. This is some added good perspective. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Sean Murphy Sent: Wednesday, January 20, 2016 11:10 PM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Assessing staff technical skill level Hi, all the companies I have worked for always left it up to the user to define their skill levels between 1 and 5. 1 being new at the technology and 5 being an expert. The key is to indicate it is for the persons development not for hiring/firing. That is the challenge as most people will think if I put down 1 for something, then I am gone when the next round of layoff’s occur. You can include certifications on the levels as well. EG: If someone has done the highest level of the certification for an area. Then they should put themselves down as a 4. 5 really should be fore someone who can educate and really resolve complex and hard issues. Just doing a cert doesn’t give you that. The other points which people have placed on this thread also apply. Sean

As IT Manager, I have been asked to conduct an assessment of our staffs technical skill level. I need to come up with a way to assess their core computer skill level, then make recommendations as to what training they would need. Have any of you found any tools that would help assess your staffs technical skill level?
