1. Purpose
Organizations within certification scope shall ensure that personnel performing DraftVerify-controlled tasks are competent for those tasks.
2. Required knowledge
Applicable personnel shall understand, at a level appropriate to their role:
- NA identity pathway;
- physical identifiers;
- verification-before-connection workflow;
- mismatch response;
- change control;
- incident escalation;
- record responsibilities; and
- limits of their technical authority.
3. Role-based training
Training shall be appropriate to assigned responsibility rather than identical for every employee.
DraftVerify may define role profiles for:
- brewery activation personnel;
- distributor handling personnel;
- venue operators;
- managers;
- technicians;
- assessors; and
- certification decision personnel.
4. Assessment of competence
Competence may be demonstrated through:
- knowledge assessment;
- observed task performance;
- supervised implementation;
- prior relevant qualification; or
- another documented method accepted by the applicable program.
5. Training completion records
Where required, training records shall identify:
- person;
- role;
- module or competency;
- completion date;
- assessment result where applicable; and
- renewal or review date where applicable.
6. Training credentials
DraftVerify may issue a training completion credential.
A training credential confirms completion of the stated training only.
It shall not be represented as:
- venue certification;
- brewery certification;
- distributor certification;
- professional trade licensing;
- regulatory qualification; or
- authority to perform regulated technical work.
7. Refresh and retraining
Retraining or competency review shall occur when required by the applicable program, including where material procedures change, repeated errors occur, or the person’s role changes materially.
8. Certification relationship
Organization certification under F-32 may require specified personnel competence evidence.
Employee training completion alone does not establish organization certification.
