Record who was trained on what, by whom, and when it needs doing again.

Training & Development records what each person has been trained on, when, by whom, and when it needs doing again. It covers safety inductions, machine handling, a refresher after an incident and a software session for the office. Attendance and the certificate sit on the employee record, so the answer to an auditor’s question takes a minute.

What it is

Training in most small firms happens, and then disappears. A supervisor shows the new joiner the machine, a chemical supplier runs a session, somebody attends a class, and the certificate goes home in a bag. Six months later nobody knows who attended what.

Recorded against the person, training becomes a fact and not a memory. Sessions have a date and a trainer, and the names and the topic sit with them.

What it replaces

What your team uses today.

The module takes over these, one at a time, so nothing has to stop while it is set up.

  • Paper attendance sheets
  • A drawer of certificates
  • A diary of refresher dates
  • A verbal induction
Where it goes wrong today

The problems this is meant to ease.

Training recorded on loose sheets

Attendance sheets pile up in a drawer. Finding who attended a safety session takes an afternoon.

Skills unknown by role

Nobody lists what a forklift operator should know. Gaps are found after an incident.

Certificates expiring unseen

Licences and fitness papers lapse quietly. Renewal begins after the date has passed.

Absentees not followed up

Those who missed a session are not listed. The same people miss the next session.

Induction left to goodwill

A new joiner is shown the machine by whoever is free. Safety points get skipped.

Inside the module

What training & development does.

Sessions with a register

Topic, trainer, date, duration and who attended. A photograph of the signed sheet can be attached for the ones done on the floor.

Skill list by role

What a forklift operator or a lab assistant is expected to know, and who in your team is short of it.

Certificates and their expiry

Licences, fitness certificates and refresher dates are held with a reminder before they lapse.

Who still has not attended

A list of names pending for each session, which is the part supervisors use most.

New joiner induction

The induction a new fitter must complete in the first week is tied to the joining checklist and is not left to goodwill.

Cost and feedback

What the session cost, the trainer’s fee, and what attendees said afterwards in two lines.

Where it gets used

What this looks like in a working week.

Illustrative scenarios, written to show the shape of the work. They are not accounts of client systems.

A safety session on the floor

The supervisor records the topic, trainer and date. A photograph of the signed sheet is attached.

A refresher falls due

Before a certificate expires, a reminder shows. HR arranges the session.

A new fitter joins

The induction on the joining checklist must be completed in the first week. The supervisor ticks each topic.

An audit visit

A customer’s auditor asks for proof of training. HR opens the employee’s record and shows the attendance and certificate.

Who touches it

The people who open this every day.

HR executive

Plans the calendar, sends the reminders and keeps the attendance sheets where they can be found.

Production or floor supervisor

Checks whether a worker is trained for the machine before putting them on it.

Owner

Sees what training costs, and which skills are held by only one person in the plant.

How it is set up

From first conversation to daily use.

  1. Listing trainings that matter

    We go through the sessions your trade and your customers require. You tell us the roles and the skills expected. A skills list per role comes back.

  2. Employees and certificates loaded

    Employee names, existing certificates and expiry dates are entered. HR checks a sample against paper files.

  3. Reminder rules

    Refresher periods and who receives reminders are set. A test message goes to the named person.

  4. Floor trial

    Supervisors record a real session on a phone. Differences from the paper sheet are discussed.

  5. Reports for management

    The owner receives pending attendance and expiry reports. Upkeep is assigned by name.

Measuring it

How you would know it is working.

Record where you stand before it goes live, so the change is measured against your own figures.

  • Employees pending for each scheduled session
  • Certificates and licences expiring soon
  • Skills gaps against the role list
  • Joiners with induction topics not yet completed
  • Training cost and feedback by session
How it fits

It is one part of a system, not an island.

A module earns its place by what it passes to the next one. These are the connections we set up most often.

  • Employee database
  • Recruitment and onboarding
  • Performance management
  • HR document management
  • Notifications
Common questions

Questions owners ask about training & development.

Does it run online courses?

No, not by itself. Videos and material can be linked from a session, and an outside course provider can be recorded as the trainer. Most training in a factory happens standing next to a machine, and the record is what matters.

Is this overkill when our training is a vendor demonstration once a year?

Not yet; one session a year belongs in a file. It becomes worth keeping when certificates expire, when a customer audit asks who is trained on what, or when an incident makes the question urgent.

Can we prove training to a customer auditor?

You can show the sessions, the attendance and the certificates from one screen. Whether that satisfies a particular auditor depends on their checklist. We would not claim otherwise.

Who enters attendance for the shop floor?

Usually the supervisor, on a phone, ticking names as the session finishes. Most firms photograph the signed sheet instead, and upload it against the session.

How is a training record system priced?

Employee numbers, role lists and links to the employee database and onboarding set the price. Feedback and cost tracking can be added or left out. Reading your requirements precedes a quotation with separate lines. Pick what you want.

When can HR begin recording sessions?

The speed depends on how many certificates must be loaded. Session registers, skill lists and expiry reminders are included first. Old attendance sheets help if you have them. The proposal gives dates.
