A clear way to manage training and certification hours for professionals is to record every course with hours, date and certificate, sum hours per professional and period and compare them with the requirements each professional must meet.
In Jestor, training records are linked to professionals, so the firm sees who is on track and who needs more hours.

Close to the deadline, some professionals discover they are short of hours.
The firm has no overview of training investment.
