• Key Concepts: 
  Competency type is a feature of the SuccessFactors Learning Management System (LOD-SF-LMS) that allows users to define and categorize competencies. A competency is a set of skills, knowledge, and abilities that are required for a job or role. Competency types are used to group similar competencies together, making it easier to manage and track them. 
  
  How to Use It: 
  To create a competency type, users must first define the competencies that will be included in the type. This can be done by selecting from existing competencies or creating new ones. Once the competencies have been defined, they can be grouped into a competency type. This type can then be assigned to employees or roles in order to track their progress and performance. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a competency type, it is important to consider how it will be used. For example, if the type is intended for use in employee development, it should include skills and knowledge that are relevant to the employee’s current role and future goals. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the competencies included in the type are measurable and can be tracked over time.
