About This Automation
Early education centres must track staff training and certifications to meet regulatory requirements and maintain compliance. Manual tracking across emails, spreadsheets, and file folders creates errors, delays, and audit risk.
Automation captures training data directly from completion notices, stores certificates securely, monitors expiry dates in real time, and generates compliance reports on demand. Staff and leadership receive timely renewal alerts, and audits can be completed in minutes instead of hours.

How The Automation Works
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
An email arrives with a training completion notice or certificate attachment, or a staff member uploads a certificate to a shared folder.
The automation extracts the certificate file, reads metadata (course name, completion date, expiry date if present), and stores the file in a central repository.
The automation adds or updates the staff member's training record in the centralised database, including course title, completion date, and expiry date.
The automation compares the expiry date against today and flags the record if renewal is due within 60 days.
If a certification is expiring within 60 days, the automation sends a notification to the staff member and the operations manager.
On a monthly schedule, the automation compiles a compliance summary showing all staff, their current certifications, expiry dates, and any gaps, and saves it.
The automation sends the compliance report to the director or email, highlighting any overdue renewals or missing training.
