To sign off a task on the Job Qualification Standard (JQS), what is the initial selection trainees must make if the task has a start date?

The initial selection trainees must make to sign off a task on the Job Qualification Standard (JQS) is to select a task. This step is essential because it identifies the specific task that the trainee is completing, allowing for proper tracking of qualifications and ensuring that the subsequent actions, such as documenting progress and verifying completion, are accurately aligned with the selected task. Selecting a task provides context for the trainee's training journey and connects it to broader qualification standards, making it a foundational action necessary for successful sign-off on the JQS. It is critical in establishing a record of what has been learned and accomplished.
