Training record

The training record is your apprentice’s or trainee's learning diary which documents their progress and achievement of competencies outlined in the training plan.

It provides an opportunity for all parties to gauge how the apprentice or trainee is progressing.

The training record:

• may be kept in any format that the supervising registered training organisation (SRTO) considers appropriate
• corresponds to the competencies (skills, knowledge) in the training plan.

Employer's responsibilities

You are responsible for inspecting and signing off the training record at least every 3 months.

Apprentice's or trainee's responsibilities

Your apprentice or trainee is responsible for:

• looking after their training record
• regularly updating it with completed training details
• signing off completion of workplace tasks when they believe that can competently perform them
• taking it with them when switching to a new employer.

SRTO's responsibilities

The SRTO is responsible for:

• providing the training record to the apprentice or trainee within 14 days of the training plan being signed
• updating the training record at least every 3 months
• signing off workplace 'competencies' when they believe your apprentice or trainee can demonstrate these skills
• immediately resolving any issues that may be hindering progress.

Inspecting the training record

We regularly check training records to make sure:

• that they are up to date
• that your apprentice or trainee is being properly trained.
