Training Completion Tracker
Stop chasing people for training receipts.
What changes when you build this
The gaps you're living with today,
and what this tool fixes.
Problems
- Completion data lives across 3+ systems — LMS exports, spreadsheets, and email confirmations — so nobody has a single source of truth
- Managers find out an employee missed mandatory training only when audit season hits
- HR spends 5+ hours per quarter manually compiling completion reports for compliance reviews
- Overdue assignments go unnoticed for weeks because there is no automated alerting
- Certificates and completion evidence are buried in email threads or shared drives with no link back to the employee record
Solutions
- One dashboard consolidates completion status across every course, department, and employee
- Overdue assignments surface automatically with alerts sent to the employee's manager
- Compliance reports generate in seconds from live data instead of manual spreadsheet assembly
- Each employee record stores certificates and completion timestamps in one place, ready for audit
- Department-level progress views let managers track their team without waiting on HR
