    CPD & compliance

    Mandatory training management without the matrix spreadsheet

    Safeguarding, fire safety, data protection, manual handling, Prevent — the training everyone must do, on a cycle, with proof. Learner Journey assigns it with due dates, reports who is complete, overdue or gone stale, and produces the certificate and the audit trail.

    • Assign to a cohort in one action with a due date
    • Completed, overdue and stale status per person
    • Reminders sent from the report and logged
    • Certificates with a public verification link

    The training matrix is always a week out of date

    Most organisations manage mandatory training in a matrix: people down the side, topics along the top, a date in each cell. It is maintained by hand from certificates emailed by staff and completion reports exported from an e-learning provider. Whoever owns it knows two things: it is essential, and it is never quite right.

    The cost shows up at audit time, when the question "who has not done their fire safety refresher?" takes a day to answer with confidence, and again every time someone leaves or joins and the matrix quietly stops matching the staff list.

    Assign, track, remind, certify — from the same record

    In Learner Journey each mandatory topic is a learning path. Assign it to a cohort — a department, a site, a new-starter intake — with a due date and the mandatory flag, and everyone is notified by email and in-app. As people complete it, the compliance report for that path updates: completed, overdue against the due date, or stale when there has been no activity for longer than a window you set. Chase anyone outstanding with a nudge from the report; every nudge is logged with a timestamp.

    A pass on the closing quiz or assessment completes the path and issues a certificate automatically, as a PDF with a public verification link. The report exports to CSV whenever an auditor, a regulator or a board wants the evidence.

    What you get

    Cohort assignment

    Group people into cohorts and enrol the whole group in a path at once. New starters can be added to the cohort and picked up the same way.

    Due dates and the mandatory flag

    Every assignment carries a due date. Mandatory paths are labelled as such for the learner and reported separately for the manager.

    Overdue and stale detection

    Past the due date is overdue. No activity for a configurable number of days is stale — which is how annual refreshers resurface without a separate expiry date on every record.

    Logged reminders

    Send a nudge email to anyone outstanding, straight from the report. Each nudge is recorded, so evidence that reminders were sent already exists.

    A pass mark, not a scroll-to-the-end

    Finish each path with a quiz or an outcome-based assessment and set the threshold. Completion means the standard was met.

    Certificates and export

    Certificates issue on completion with a public verification page. The compliance report, gradebook and attendee lists all export to CSV.

    Who it is for

    Care and healthcare providers

    Statutory and mandatory topics on a cycle, with the evidence an inspector expects.

    Schools and trusts

    Safeguarding, Prevent and data-protection refreshers across all staff.

    HR and compliance teams

    One report per topic, generated from real completions, exportable on demand.

    Charities and membership bodies

    Volunteer and member training with certificates that verify themselves.

    Why it works

    No matrix to maintain
    The report is generated from completions, not typed in from certificates.
    Refreshers surface on their own
    Stale detection brings people back into view when training ages.
    Audit trail by default
    Assignments, completions, reminders and certificates are all recorded as they happen.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I set a renewal period so training expires after a year?
    Not as an expiry date on the record. Instead, the stale flag surfaces anyone with no activity within a window you set, and you re-assign the path with a new due date when the cycle comes round. Certificates themselves do not carry an expiry.
    Does it send reminders automatically?
    Assignment notifies people automatically by email and in-app. Follow-up reminders are sent by a manager from the report in one click and are logged; there is no scheduled automatic reminder yet.
    Can I see one person's status across every mandatory topic?
    The compliance report is per learning path. The gradebook gives a per-learner view of their paths, quizzes, assessments and certificates, and both export to CSV. A single cross-topic matrix view is on the roadmap.
    Can new starters be picked up automatically?
    Add them to the relevant cohort and assign the cohort's paths; assignment applies to everyone in the cohort at that point. Adding someone to a cohort later does not retroactively assign earlier paths — assign again for the new member.
    Can we bring in our existing e-learning modules?
    Upload the documents, video and slides into the workspace and build paths around them, or generate a first draft with AI from a policy. Learner Journey exports SCORM packages but does not play third-party SCORM content.
