What Is Employee Training Management Software?

Employee Training Management Software helps manufacturers organize, assign, document, and verify employee training across the entire organization. Instead of managing spreadsheets and paper records, companies can maintain centralized training histories, competency records, certifications, and qualification requirements in one secure system.

For ISO9001 and AS9100 manufacturers, maintaining documented evidence of employee competence is essential for customer audits, certification audits, and regulatory compliance.

• Track employee qualifications
• Assign required training automatically
• Monitor certification expiration dates
• Maintain complete audit trails
• Demonstrate compliance with ISO9001 Clause 7.2 and AS9100 requirements

9. Open‑Source, Fully Customizable, and Built on Microsoft Access

Our Employee Training Management Software is delivered as an open‑source Microsoft Access application, giving your organization full control and complete customization capability.

• Microsoft SQL Server Standard/Enterprise — enterprise scalability
• Azure SQL — optional cloud deployment for remote teams

This hybrid architecture allows you to start quickly with Access and scale seamlessly to SQL Server Express or full SQL Server as your training program grows.

Because the system is open‑source and built on Microsoft Access, you can:

• Modify forms, reports, and workflows
• Add fields, tables, and custom logic
• Integrate with your existing QMS modules
• Extend the system to match your internal training processes
• Maintain full ownership of your data and configuration

This ensures your training program adapts to your unique manufacturing processes, audit requirements, and compliance needs — not the other way around.
