How do you know everyone knows what they need to know?
Training isn't finished because it was held. It's finished when you can still see who completed it, who didn't, and whose is about to expire.
Three mandatory trainings today. A competency matrix tomorrow. The same system.
Someone usually answers these from memory. Then goes and checks.
- Who has completed the mandatory training?
- Whose qualification is about to expire?
- Who can work that machine tomorrow?
- Where is the paperwork if someone asks?
- Which spreadsheet is the valid one?
The life of a mandatory training
-
Assigned
By role as well, so there are no name lists to maintain. Whoever moves into a new role gets what belongs to it.
-
Completed
By the employee, where and when they can. One screen, no training needed to use it.
-
Examined
Where the subject calls for it. For hands-on training the instructor confirms it.
-
On record
Completion and expiry are visible together. Nothing to dig out.
-
Expires — and starts again
The system says so in advance, not afterwards.
Five states, one record. Not five spreadsheets.
What a manager sees
Online and hands-on
Not all knowledge can be learned in front of a screen. E-learning is fast and measurable, but next to a production line the training still happens on the shop floor.
The same record for both. Classroom and hands-on training land in the same place as the online exam — which is why “who is prepared” can be answered in one place.
Every feature matured in live use. That is how the system became deeper, not more complicated.
