Colleagues,
I am trying to get to grips with building a Training Matrix for my company. I have set something up on MS Excel, which is handy as an 'at a glance' record of what training has been carried out. But I need some software that can notify me when training is due (once I set the parameters), because we have a large number of staff with different trades. Is anyone using software like this, if such a thing exists? Or are we all muddling through with an excel spreadsheet?
Hope you can help before I spiral into an abyss of despair, from which there is no escape.....or something like that!!
Regards,
Steve

Some ideas:
1. There are many companies around (try internet) who will sell you off the shelf packages or for even more money - a bespoke package.
2. Your local college or university could give it to IT students to work with you on it and deliver a bespoke package. They would do it as part of their course work and gain valuable credits for their qualifications. Not sure if they would charge for it though.
3. Your HR department may already have a system which gives alerts when further training should updated and this could be utilised.
4. If you use regular training providers, they like to inform you when renewals are due - vested interest.
Would be interesting to find out how you resolve this one.
Regards
Tom

You can use excel to notify you of upcoming refreshers. Ask your IT Dept about using macros. I don't know how myself - it was set up for me.
On our audit schedule the cells start out as clear, and turns red when an audit is overdue. additionally, once the audit has been completed and the date introduced the cells turn yellow until the actions are closed out. it also highlights late audits and audits that have taken longer then 3 months to close.
It may be possible to do some thing similar for training.
Regards

I can recommend a programme called "Training Manager Pro". It's not perfect, but what is?
Go to www.tmansoft.com
And NO I don't get commission for this.
