Training Matrix

What this sheet is for

See at a glance who has been trained in what and which squares are blank, across a whole team on a single page.

Who it is for

Small employers, site managers, care and catering teams, workshops, clubs and anyone who has been asked to prove that people are trained.

How to use it

1. Write your own courses across the top. The sheet prints none.
2. Put the date achieved in the square, not a tick.
3. Add a second row of dates for anything that expires and needs refreshing.
4. Review it on a fixed cycle and date the review.
5. Keep the certificates elsewhere; this is the index, not the evidence.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

Why are the columns blank?

Because required training differs by country, by sector and by task, and a printed list would be wrong for every trade but one. What must be done, how often it must be repeated and what evidence counts are for you to establish.
