Recording Training Events

The skills app is provided to allow registered practitioners to keep a log of appropriate early years core training and continuing professional development. It has been designed for the use of practitioners in registered early years settings in the UK. Listings include an identifier of the setting at which the practitioner is working, and all entries will be accessible by the chosen representative(s) of the setting. Personal records may be downloaded by the featured individual and records of all staff at the setting may be viewed or downloaded by the appointed people within the setting.
