Development records

What this workflow covers

SkillProof keeps each CPD activity against the staff member who completed it, with the title, category, provider, completion date, hours, learning type, evidence status, reflection and review status where those fields are used. Managers can then review the record alongside appraisals, development actions and professional registrations without treating a CPD total as proof of compliance.

Plain-English answer

SkillProof in brief

SkillProof provides CPD tracking and management records for activity, hours or categories, reflections, evidence, review status and development follow-up.

Who it is for

  • Professionals recording continuing development
  • Managers reviewing CPD evidence
  • Firms with different professional-body models

What it tracks

  • CPD activities and review periods
  • Hours, categories and reflections
  • Evidence and development actions

What it does not do

  • It does not award CPD credits
  • It does not make professional-body decisions
  • It does not treat one CPD model as universal

Why organisations replace spreadsheets

Individual CPD logs become reviewable records connected to evidence, appraisals and professional registrations.

How it differs from an LMS

SkillProof records development completed through any provider; it does not host or sell the learning course itself.

teams recording development activity against organisation-defined professional requirements

03Different from
SkillProof records CPD but does not decide whether an activity meets professional-body rules; Appraisal Management focuses on review meetings and actions.

What changes with SkillProof

The same workflow, with the live record and the next action kept in front of the team.

Before SkillProof

The position has to be pieced together

  • Individual logs
  • Evidence elsewhere
  • Weak follow-up
  • Manual reports

With SkillProof

One clear view of the record and follow-up

  • Staff-linked CPD
  • Evidence status
  • Development actions
  • Reviewable reports

Development records

Keep development activity and follow-up in one view

Record CPD, appraisals and development actions against the right person, then review what has been completed and what needs attention.

  1. Record CPD activity, category, date and notes.

  2. Attach or mark evidence status for CPD records.

  3. Link CPD to staff records and development actions where relevant.

  4. Review manager or employee actions that need follow-up.

Review the full problem-to-workflow detail

Why CPD records become difficult to review

  • Hours are recorded without the context behind them.

    A total alone does not show the learning type, provider, reflection, evidence or review status.

  • Evidence sits outside the CPD log.

    Certificates and supporting files are harder to check when they are stored away from the activity.

  • Review actions disappear after the conversation.

    Development actions can be missed when CPD, appraisals and follow-up notes live in separate documents.

From CPD activity to a reviewable record

  • Record the activity

    Capture the title, category, provider, completion date, hours and learning type.

  • Connect the evidence

    Mark whether evidence is required and keep the supporting file linked to the CPD record.

  • Review the learning

    Use reflection, evidence and review status to show more than a running hours total.

  • Follow up development

    Keep agreed actions visible alongside appraisals, registrations and the wider staff record.

Questions about CPD Tracking Software

Straight answers about the record, workflow and product boundary.

Is SkillProof CPD management software?

Yes, for recording CPD activities, categories, hours, reflections, evidence, review status and development actions. SkillProof does not award CPD credits or decide whether an activity meets a professional body's rules.

Does SkillProof award CPD credits?

No. SkillProof records CPD activity and evidence; it does not award CPD credits or replace professional body requirements.

Can evidence be added to CPD records?

CPD records can track evidence status and supporting evidence where your workflow uses it.

Can CPD link to appraisals?

CPD sits in the Development area alongside appraisal records and development actions so teams can review them together.
