Q:	How can I correlate my competency examination to proficiency testing? A: CACTUS competency training and examination results for "Good LAL Laboratory Techniques" and "Good LAL Method Development and Validation Practices" can be compared to Proficiency testing results. The correlation can provide conversion efficiency value of competency knowledge to practical laboratory use. For example, if you have received 80% or better for "Good LAL Laboratory Techniques" and your Proficiency testing score is outside of the acceptable limits, then competency conversion efficiency is low. Also, if you have received 80% or better for "Good LAL Method Development and Validation Practices" can be compared to Proficiency testing results and your Proficiency testing score over a period of time is within of the acceptable limits with random distribution, then competency conversion efficiency is good.
