It has survived not only five centuries, but also The Challenge: Keeping Training Consistent APTIM faced a significant problem in training management: employees often needed site-specific training when they moved between projects. This led to delays and safety concerns. “We perform similar work for multiple clients that encourages the sharing of workforce between projects. Individual projects would validate and track their required training so when an employee was transferred along with their file, they would get to the new site and found to be missing some site-specific training that would need to be completed before they could get on site.” Justin Hinks, APTIM The company needed a better way to manage and validate training records across  Related read: Do you own a business in the insurance industry? Check out how Artificial Intelligence is transforming the insurance industry. Training Management Challenge Breakdown: 1. Decentralized Training Records: Training records were scattered across different systems and locations, making it difficult to track and validate employees’ training status. 2. Inconsistent Training Delivery: There was no standardized way to present internal training, leading to inconsistencies. 3. Training Gaps: Identifying and rectifying training gaps before mobilization was a cumbersome process. 4. Administrative Burden: The need for non-technical personnel to generate reports and manage training records added to the administrative workload. Searching for an EHS Training Management Solution APTIM sought a centralized system to ensure reliable, consistent training management, replacing outdated methods that couldn’t keep up. As Justin Hinks put it, “We needed a centralized platform to validate and maintain our employees’ external training requirements as well as present our own internal training in a consistent manner that could be easily shared between projects. And that would be able to identify any training gaps so they could be rectified prior to mobilization.” Justin Hinks, APTIM BIS Safety Software ticked all these boxes, providing a seamless solution for managing training across multiple projects. The centralized, user-friendly platform allowed training records to be easily updated and maintained. Non-technical staff could generate reports, and employees accessed and completed their training efficiently. The Impact Breakdown of a Training Management System “The software is accurate, easily updated, with the ability to produce reports by non-technical minded personnel and be user-friendly for our employees accessing the system to complete training and upload records of training completed through other platforms.” Justin Hinks, APTIM Key Results Breakdown High Volume of Training: Approximately 81,000 courses and assessments have been completed online. Extensive Record Keeping: Around 75,000 training records, fit tests, and competency assessments have been uploaded for 9800 users.
