I don’t think it will make much difference tbh. I’m not sure how closely that gets looked at. My joinedup profile was only ‘verified’ by Angard about 6 months after my induction shift.

None of the options on that list are relevant to a PSM. I suppose you could put tracked out or in as tracked get run through a PSM and you would have pushed a York around so that's porters covered. I doubt it it will make any difference what you put down to Angard.

There are ‘hidden’ skills that do not appear on the list.

I know that
Traffic Recording
COVID
are two of them.

I also know that there are others.

I suggest you put in those suggested previously plus Inward Bag Opening, Lanes, Unmeasured.

When hired, email Angard to advise you are PSM trained

Good luck
