How to use it
- Type one person per line, and one course or skill per line.
- Click a cell to move it through blank, in progress, trained and verified.
- Print it, or download it as a spreadsheet and keep going in Excel or Google Sheets.
Trained is not the same as verified
- A person can finish a course without being able to do the task. Use trained for completed training, and verified when someone with the right authority has watched the person do it.
Run this in the field.
