Scheduled delivery
What this workflow covers
SkillProof Sessions gives UK teams one place to schedule instructor-led or virtual training, invite or book staff, manage capacity, send calendar-compatible invitations and record attendance and trainer outcomes. Sessions can contribute to completion proof when the configured Session Type or Pathway allows it. SkillProof does not host online meetings or deliver SCORM courses.
Plain-English answer
SkillProof in brief
SkillProof Sessions connects scheduled staff training, bookings, attendance and permitted completion proof to the records an organisation already manages.
What it tracks
- Session dates, trainers, delivery method and capacity
- Invitations, controlled bookings and cancellations
- Full, partial and missed attendance plus trainer outcomes
What it does not do
- Online Sessions use an external meeting link; SkillProof does not host the meeting
- Calendar invitations are not two-way Google or Microsoft calendar synchronisation
- Attendance affects completion only where the Session Type or Pathway permits it
Why organisations replace spreadsheets
A spreadsheet can list dates and attendees, but it does not reliably connect invitations, capacity, attendance and completion proof to the current staff training record.
How it differs from an LMS
SkillProof records scheduled delivery and its proof. It does not host courses, virtual meetings or SCORM content.
Choose the right workflow
What this page is for
- 01Best for
- teams coordinating group training across calendars, email bookings and separate attendance registers
- 02Primary job
- Keep the dated Session, its audience, capacity, bookings, attendance and permitted completion proof connected.
- 03Different from
- Training Records Management covers the wider record lifecycle; Training Matrix Software shows current status. Sessions focuses on scheduled delivery and attendance, and SkillProof does not host courses or online meetings.
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
- Dates in shared calendars
- Bookings reconciled from email
- Attendance on paper or separate files
- Completions entered again later
With SkillProof
One clear view of the record and follow-up
- Scheduled events tied to Session Types
- Capacity and bookings in one register
- Attendance linked to each person
- Permitted completion proof retained with the record
Scheduled delivery
Keep the event, the register and the training record connected
Manage the people and places for each Session, then retain attendance and permitted outcomes against the record they support.
Create a reusable Session Type and link the training item or Pathway step where needed.
Choose how qualifying attendance or a trainer outcome can affect completion.
Schedule the date, trainer, delivery method, audience and capacity.
Invite or book relevant staff and send calendar-compatible details.

What your team can do in SkillProof
Training sessions are difficult to govern when dates sit in calendars, bookings arrive by email, attendance is recorded elsewhere and completions are transferred to staff records later.
Training administrators
Schedule events, manage capacity and keep the register with the training record.
Managers
Book permitted staff and see the session details and places available.
Trainers
Open the session register and record attendance or an agreed outcome.
Reusable Session Types
Define repeatable session formats, training links, self-booking settings and completion behaviour.
Event scheduling
Set the date, trainer, location or external online meeting link, capacity and delivery method.
Audience and booking controls
Limit discovery by site, department, role or invitation and allow self-booking only where enabled.
Calendar invitations
Send calendar-compatible invitations and updates that link people back to the governed Session record.
Review the full problem-to-workflow detail
When delivery and the training record drift apart
Session dates live in calendars
The event is visible, but the audience, capacity and linked training requirement may not be.
Bookings arrive through email
Managers lose time reconciling invitations, cancellations and available places by hand.
Attendance sits on paper or another file
Full, partial and missed attendance can be hard to trace back to the person and session.
Completions need rekeying
Training records fall behind when attendance and trainer outcomes are transferred later.
One governed route from schedule to attendance
Set up the Session Type
Create a reusable format, link the relevant training item where needed and choose how attendance can affect completion.
Schedule the event
Add the date, trainer, location or external online link, audience and capacity.
Manage places
Invite or book staff, allow controlled self-booking where suitable and keep cancellations visible.
Record what happened
Mark attendance and trainer outcomes, then retain permitted completion proof against the governed record.

Questions about Training Sessions
Straight answers about the record, workflow and product boundary.
What is training session management software?
Training session management software keeps scheduled events, invited or booked staff, capacity, attendance and outcomes together. SkillProof connects that delivery record to the training records the organisation already manages.
Can SkillProof manage in-person and online training sessions?
Yes. Sessions can be in person, online, hybrid or delivered by an external provider. For online delivery, the organisation adds its own meeting link; SkillProof does not host the meeting.
Can staff book themselves onto a training session?
Yes, where self-booking is enabled and the staff member is within the Session audience. An administrator or permitted manager can also invite or book staff.
Can managers control session capacity?
Yes. A Session Event has a set capacity, and booking controls keep available places visible. Access still depends on the user's permissions and the Session audience.
Can SkillProof record partial or missed attendance?
Yes. The register distinguishes full, late, partial, missed and excused attendance, as well as cancellations. Attendance is kept separately from the trainer outcome.
Does attendance automatically complete a training record?
Not always. Attendance updates a linked training item or Pathway only when the Session Type and completion rules explicitly allow it.
Does SkillProof integrate with Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook?
SkillProof can send calendar-compatible invitations and updates. This is not a two-way Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook synchronisation service.
Is SkillProof an LMS or training course provider?
No. SkillProof manages training and compliance records, including scheduled Sessions and attendance. It does not host courses, virtual meetings or SCORM content.
Which SkillProof plan includes Sessions?
Sessions is included from Growth. Professional provides advanced controls, and Enterprise arrangements can be tailored.
