Level 2: You have participated in the skill/procedure under direct supervision.
Level 3: You have performed the skill/procedure on a number of occasions and required minimal supervision.
Level 4: You can perform the skill/procedure safely and competently, giving the rationale for your actions.
Level 5: You are able to critically appraise/teach the skill/procedure to others.

Achievements and goals for each capability can also be documented and recorded.
