What you show your auditor
You are not buying training hours: you are buying the means to answer an inspection. Here is exactly what you will be able to produce, in what format, and how quickly.
The base actually available
A training plan is not built on an announced catalogue but on modules that exist. Here are the available volumes by field, as they appear in the deposited catalogue — not a sales projection.
- 140
Industry & HSE
- 67
AI & data
- 47
Finance

The records you can produce
| Record | What it establishes | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Attendance record | Supervised hours actually attended, per person and per session | Spreadsheet and PDF |
| Competency record | What was assessed, and the outcome, competency by competency | Signed PDF |
| Individual attestation | Exact title, hours, dates, verification reference | Signed PDF |
| Dated syllabus | The content as it stood at the time of the session, not its current version | Timestamped PDF |
| Full export | All of the above for a whole cohort, in a single operation | Archive |
The dated syllabus, and why it matters
It is the record everyone forgets, and the one that sinks files. An inspection covers a past session; the catalogue, meanwhile, has moved on. Producing today's syllabus to justify a course delivered two years ago amounts to producing nothing. Each session therefore freezes its own content, timestamped, and it is that version you are given — even where we find it less flattering than today's.
What we cannot attest
- That a trained employee actually applies what they learned in their role
- That a course on its own satisfies a regulatory obligation specific to your sector
- That a professional qualification equals a licence issued by an authority
- That a competency assessed remotely covers a skill performed on the shop floor
Audit questions
How quickly can an export be obtained?
Exporting a cohort is immediate from the company space. A request covering a session predating your current contract goes through us and is handled within five working days. We state a timeframe rather than an immediacy we could not hold.
What happens to traceability if we stop working together?
Records already issued remain valid and verifiable: they attest past facts, which the end of a contract does not alter. Export everything before access closes — we remind you of this ourselves, and we retain the records for the period set in the contract.
Are your attestations legally defensible?
They establish what they state: hours attended, competencies assessed, on given dates, under described conditions. That is what an inspection expects from a training provider. They do not stand in for a licence where a public authority issues one: there, they prepare for it, they do not replace it.
