At a glance

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

Scope and boundaries

  • 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.

Training and LMS context

SkillProof includes a governed LMS for creating, assigning, completing and reviewing internal learning alongside workforce compliance records. Organisations can also retain completions, evidence and renewal dates from external training providers and learning systems. It is not an accredited training provider, an included course marketplace or a universal content-led LMS.

Review product scope and full workflow detail

What this workflow covers

CPD is not a universal hours counter. SkillProof records organisation-defined CPD periods, activities, categories, hours, evidence and reflection, with multiple effective-dated schemes per person on Professional and Enterprise. The organisation or professional remains responsible for deciding which scheme applies, whether an activity qualifies and whether the record meets the relevant professional rules.

Would the CPD record withstand review today?

  • Are you only counting hours?

    A total does not show the activity, category, learning outcome, evidence or reflection behind it.

  • Does one person follow more than one scheme?

    Different roles, periods and category rules become difficult to explain when everything is kept in one flat tracker.

  • Can managers see what is incomplete?

    Missing evidence, reflection and review are often discovered during annual declarations rather than during the period.

Build a CPD record that can be reviewed

  • Apply the relevant period or scheme

    Use organisation-defined categories and cycles, or multiple effective-dated schemes on eligible plans.

  • Record activity, evidence and reflection

    Keep the hours in context with what happened, the supporting proof and the person's reflection.

  • Review gaps before declaration time

    Use personal, team and organisation views to identify incomplete records while action can still be taken.

Questions about CPD Tracking Software

The key points teams usually need before choosing this workflow.

What is CPD tracking?

CPD tracking is the process of recording continuing professional development activities, dates, hours or categories, reflections, evidence and review status. The organisation or professional body remains responsible for deciding which CPD requirements apply.

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.

What can be kept as evidence of CPD?

The required evidence depends on the profession and the rules that apply. A CPD record may include a certificate, attendance record, reflection, notes or another supporting file. SkillProof stores the record and its evidence status; it does not decide whether a professional body will accept it.
