TRAIN TRACK® Web Edition Help Manual
Introduction
What is TRAIN TRACK®?
TRAIN TRACK® gives you the tools you need to make sure training requirements are met.
- Quickly see what training is needed or completed.
- Assign required training by department, job title, or individual.
- Allow employees to enroll in classes and take electronic exams.
- Automatically notify employees of training due.
TRAIN TRACK® consists of two main data sets, Training records and Employee records. The relationships that you set up between these two data sets determine what training is required, completed, or needed for each employee.

- Training Requirements
- Exam Questions and Answers
Assign required training by:
- Job title
- Department
- Individual
TRAIN TRACK® will do the rest:
- Determine what training is needed for each employee
- Determine when/if each training expires
- Track the status of each requirement:
- Needed
- Scheduled
- Completed
- Failed (if an exam is required)
- Expired
- Expiring soon
- Maintain records of all completed training, required or not
- Generate reports to print, export, or email
Overview
What Training is Required?
Most organizations have some type of training requirements, either mandated by a regulatory body such as the FDA, required by law, for a certification process such as ISO, or to ensure that internal procedures are followed and that each employee knows how to carry out their job functions. To comply with these requirements, each employee needs to be assigned a specific set of training topics to complete, sometimes called a "training profile".
TRAIN TRACK® allows you to assign training requirements by job title, department, or individual. It gives you further control by allowing employees to have multiple job titles, adding exceptions to requirements for individuals, departments or job titles, and setting up groups of required training.
What Training has been Completed?
TRAIN TRACK® maintains records of completed training. You may record completed training by entering a completion date, importing records from Excel®, or allowing employees to log in and take an exam or verify that they have completed the training materials.
What Training is Needed?
Once you have added your training requirements and your training completions, TRAIN TRACK® can tell you what training is still needed, what will be due soon, and what is already completed or scheduled. It also allows you to set due dates for needed training, and to require periodic re-training.
Available Editions
TRAIN TRACK® is available with a desktop interface and a web-based interface. The web interface may be used alone, or in combination with the desktop interface. This manual covers the web interface only. The desktop interface is covered in a separate manual. Different features are available in each edition.
