TrainingKeeper FAQ

Does it enable you to track/schedule competency assessments? For lab staff, initial competency re-assessment for each training task is 6 months, followed by annual re-assessment.

It's a nightmare to keep on top of this when everyone has started at different times. Getting them in sync is the first aim, but it's not always possible.

Yes you can schedule re-assessment, retraining, or any other type of class with training plans. A training plan can contain an unlimited number of classes, scheduled out as far you need.

For example Lab A is due 30 days, Lab A reassessment is due 180 days, and Lab B class is due 365 days. Those 3 classes belong to a training plan called Lab Classes. Within the software you assign employees to the training plan Lab Classes. The software then schedules those students for those classes in the Lab Classes training plan and shows this in the scheduled class list.

I completely understand about staying on top of training, TrainingKeeper helps you with this. You can print schedule due reports by employee or class. So when someone is conducting a class, they can quickly see all those who need that class.

Also, lets say you conduct a pre-scheduled class. When you enter that training record into the system, TrainingKeeper automatically assigns the training record to the open scheduled class. The software closes the class and the required training (since it was completed) and the class will not show on the report of open scheduled courses.

Can you share TrainingKeeper among multiple computers/users/managers?

The software is good for one location / site. If you use MS Access, you can put the file on your server and then multiple computers / users / managers can share it at the same time (we don't charge for extra users only extra sites!). However, it doesn't manage users or passwords. So be sure to give use to only those who need it.

Would this be functional for use for OSHA compliance, company specific SOP training, job specific training (machine operator, QA technician, forklift driver)?

Yes, TrainingKeeper is functional for any training you provide both internal and external. You define the classes within TrainingKeeper.

Does TrainingKeeper track job positions? Can you define training by position?

For each employee you can assign a job position and a department.

With TrainingKeeper you can create training plans (which consist of multiple classes and scheduled time) for each job position. You can then assign these training plan to the employees. This is very easy because you can quickly select all employees for a given position or department.

Can this software help us meet ISO requirements?

Absolutely. Many companies struggle when tracking and scheduling training. TrainingKeeper not only makes tracking and scheduling training easy, but proves to your auditor that training is important to your company.

In addition the software package includes a training policy and a training record example.

Can I email the reports?

Yes. Two options for this. You can send the form as a snap shot, or as a pdf file.

How many training records, employees or classes does the software hold?

Unlimited.

Since I don't know Microsoft Access, will I be able to use the software?

Yes, you don't need to know anything about Microsoft Access. Included with the software is a pictorial instruction manual that provides step by step instructions.

Why did you use Microsoft Access to build the application?

We selected Access to keep the price of the software down. With Access, our customers have unlimited amount of users for one low price. In addition, Access also allows for unlimited amount of records. Since most of our customers have Access installed with Microsoft Office, it makes a great application / database backbone.

Why are there two different versions Microsoft Access and non Microsoft Access?

Both versions are Microsoft Access based. The non Microsoft Access includes a run time version of Microsoft access. If you have Microsoft Access on your computer then select the Microsoft Access version.

How do I know if I have Microsoft Access?

Click Start > Select All Programs > Select Microsoft Office > Check and see if Microsoft Access is listed. If Access is not listed then buy the non-Microsoft Access version.

What version of Microsoft Access do I need to run the application?

Microsoft Access Version 2000 or greater will work with TrainingKeeper.

Why is our IT department concerned with MS Access?

I'm not sure about that one. In the mid 90s MS Access had some rare problems when the database got too big. However, Microsoft addressed these issues a long time ago.

Does the software connect to the internet?

No

Does the software contain any mal-ware or harmful macros? Harmful sub routines? Harmful coding?
