Fragen und Antworten (FAQ)

KISS-Führerschein

What is a KISS licence?

The KISS licence is an individual qualification for entering data for selected KISS modules in webKess. The regular monitoring of this qualification ensures the quality of the collected data.

‘Qualified users generate more qualified data’

How long is the KISS licence valid for?

The KISS licence is valid for 24 months after successful completion of the final examination. It authorises the holder to enter data in the corresponding KISS module in webKess.

How do I get the respective KISS licence?

You will complete an online course on an e-learning platform with a final exam. You will first be given an overview of the learning content, which you can then explore in more detail through videos and small blocks of questions. If you pass the final exam, you will receive the KISS licence for that module.

The prerequisite for participation in the KISS licence for a specific KISS module is the completion of the required basic courses.

How does the final exam work?

The final exam is taken online and consists of general questions and case studies on the KISS module. There is a time limit for completion. You can retake the exam 3 times. You have 90 days from registration to complete the final exam.

Can I still access the learning content after the final test?

Yes, once we have authorised you, you will have access to all learning content for a period of two years. We will provide new information if major changes to a module make this necessary.

How do I apply for the KISS licence?

We will provide the respective registration options in webKess to enable registration.

How much does the KISS licence cost?

The KISS licence will initially be free of charge during the introductory phase. In the future, an expense fee will be charged. The amount has not yet been determined.

Which KISS modules require the KISS licence?

The following learning units are planned:

Basic courses (prerequisite for the module-specific learning units)

  • KISS Basics
  • KISS-Definitions
  • webKess data management
  • Data interpretation & Feedback

Module-specific learning units

  • CDI-KISS
  • MRSA-KISS

Will there be a transition period?

Yes, the KISS licence becomes mandatory when the corresponding learning unit for a KISS module is published. The following rules then apply:

  • Initially there will be a transition period of 12 months, i.e. all webKess users who have already entered data for this module can continue to do so as qualified users for 12 months, beginning after the publication date of the new learning unit.
  • Furthermore, the learning unit can be completed free of charge within the first 6 months and thus the KISS licence can be acquired for a further 24 months.
Do the basic courses have to be completed regularly?

No, as the basics of KISS and webKess are not subject to regular changes, they only have to be completed again in the event of major changes to the respective basic course. There is also a transitional period of 3 months when registering for the KISS licence.
