Worldskills International & IAF cooperation
During the French National World Skills Finals (Strasbourg, January 2015), the CIS rating system has been successfully
downloaded by Abilympics France. It will be ready to be used starting on the 9th International Abilympics in Bordeaux 2016.
It is a great improvement of the evaluation process for Abilympics events, David Hoey (WorldSkills International CEO) and
Toshiharu Kobayashi (IAF President) address a message:
“Abilympics
has always had an important link to
WorldSkills. There is commonality with our respective
visions and aims and the IAF and RI play a very
important role in society, that is why it is a pleasure to
share our marking expertise with them. Since 2005, we
have been building, improving, testing, and using our
Competition Information System (CIS) throughout the
world at national, regional and international WorldSkills
events. The CIS is a custom-built software (by
WorldSkills International) that manages all aspects of
the marking and results of each skill competition. It is
used to create or import marking schemes, generate
marking sheets and record or calculate marks for each
Competitor. It ensures that these marks accord with
pre-defined rules for each competition. It calculates all
results for every competition and lists all medal winners,
and can also generate overall results for each Member.
There are also many reporting and analysis tools
available. We are glad to share our CIS with Abilympics
for their events.”
“On behalf of International Abilympic Federation
(IAF), I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to
WorldSkills International (WSI) for letting us use the
Competition Information System (CIS) in the 9th IA.
It is very important to have a fair evaluation process
in the skills competitions. By using the CIS, which
has been developed by WSI for regional and
international WorldSkills events, the evaluation
process at the 9th IA will be significantly improved.
WSI’s accumulated expertise in the organization of
skills competitions over more than 60 years has
been and will continue to be an enormous help to us
in the context of the Abilympics and running the
event in the best possible way. The cooperation of
WSI is always greatly appreciated by us at IAF.”
