Documenting training and awareness

Answer:

Regarding competence of employees, the standard only requires you to retain records as an evidence of the competence. You don't even need to have documented procedure for training let alone documented modules for each position in departments. In order to meet requirements regarding the awareness, you do not need even records.

Actually, having competent employees enables you to decrease the volume of the documentation because they know exactly what they are doing and do not need documented procedures.
