Managing Training and Certifications

Ten lessons on knowing, on any given night, who is trained on what.

The training happens. The record of it lives in a spreadsheet one officer keeps, a stack of course certificates in a folder, and a memory of who was at the hall that evening. When somebody asks for completion records, the scramble starts.

You'll gather the training material you already use, pull in the outside material you point members at, assign it, and track completion in one place. You come away with a training record an officer can open rather than reconstruct.

Who it's for

Training officers: the spreadsheet only you know how to read.

Fire chiefs: the certifications you hope are current.

Officers: the completion records somebody will ask for eventually.
