Training planning and CPD records that connect to operational need
Training planning works best when it is driven by the gaps the operation actually has. connects the annual and monthly plan to role requirements, then records what was delivered, who attended and what was assessed.
An annual plan built from configurable templates gives structure; building it against role requirements gives it purpose. Where a competency is due to expire or a position is repeatedly uncovered, that becomes a planning input rather than something discovered later.
Templates are configurable to the customer's own planning approach, including planning structured in a PER19 style where that is how an organisation works. The structure follows your programme rather than imposing one.
Planned versus delivered
The gap between a plan and its delivery is the most useful number in training management and usually the hardest to obtain. holds both in the same place, so slippage is visible during the year rather than summarised at the end of it.

Planned versus delivered activity compared directly
Attendance recorded against each delivered session
Assessment outcomes and assessor sign-off retained
CPD records and hours held on the person's passport
Supporting evidence stored with the record
Evidence that keeps its value
Training evidence tends to be needed long after the session, usually by someone who was not there. Keeping attendance, assessment outcomes, CPD and supporting material on the individual's record means the evidence remains attributable and dated.
It also closes the loop back to readiness: a delivered and assessed session updates the person's competence status, which updates their operational availability, which updates the team's position.
Being clear about what this does and does not mean
Not an LMS
is not a course delivery platform. It plans activity against operational need, records what happened and retains the evidence, so training effort connects to readiness rather than to a catalogue.
Attendance and assessment stay separate
An attendance record shows participation. An assessment record shows a judged outcome against a standard. The two are never merged.
Questions worth asking of your own operation
How much of last year's training plan was actually delivered, and how do you know?
Is your plan built from competency gaps or from last year's plan?
Where are assessment evidence and CPD hours stored today?
