Some of the Opportunities that you oversee in your Programs may have qualifications assigned to them. Qualifications are used to help place qualified volunteers in the right Opportunities for them! With qualifications, you can filter volunteers with similar skills and answers to qualification questions when scheduling them for Opportunities! Qualifications can also be used to have volunteers sign important documents or waivers before they arrive to volunteer. Your site manager might have set those qualifications to auto approve or they may require a review before approval. Here we cover: 

So you know: You can review and update a volunteer's submitted qualification response if they're assigned to your Program. 

  • If a volunteer reaches out to you and says they submitted a qualification, but you don't see that qualification response, contact your site manager for help. 
    • For example, if the qualification is required to respond to any Opportunity on the site and the user isn't assigned to the Program, then you won't be able to see that qualification response. 
    • The site manager can check the status of that qualification if the volunteer doesn't see a qualified status on their end for it. 


How do I review qualification submissions? 

To review qualifications submitted to your Program's Opportunities, go to Volunteerism > Qualifications from your dashboard.✏️ Quick tip: If you see a (#) beside the Qualifications tab, it means there are submitted qualifications awaiting your approval or review.  


How do I update a qualification's status? 

To update a qualification's status, click on the dropdown under the Status column. You can change the status to: 

  • Qualified: This means the volunteer has satisfied the qualification requirement and can participate in the Opportunity they've responded to. 
  • Pending: This means the volunteer's qualification is awaiting review and approval from you or a site manager.  
  • Not Qualified: This means the volunteer hasn't satisfied the qualification requirement and can't respond or participate in the Opportunity until they're qualified. 
    • The user is notified when you choose this status. 
  • Inactive: This status means the qualification is no longer active. 
  • Resubmit: Select this status when a volunteer answers a qualification incorrectly or needs to resubmit their qualification for re-consideration. 
    • The user is notified when you choose this status.
