Training

Set out what every person in your kitchen needs to know, sign or prove, assign it automatically, and see who's up to date before your verification visit. Learn how Training works.

Note: Training is included in some plans and available as an add-on on others. To activate it, contact your Customer Success Manager or [email protected].

  • Build Requirements from up to 30 Activities, including certificate uploads, policy sign-offs, resource reviews, forms, quizzes, in-house sessions and external courses. Create a training requirement

  • Assign Requirements by Job Role, User Group, Supplier or individual, as Critical, Required or Optional. Staff Records without a login are fully supported

  • Set validity rules with fixed expiry, no expiry or expiry taken from a certificate, plus reminders and grace periods

  • Track everyone in the new Training Matrix and Training Register, with Work Ready Scores

  • Existing forms, quizzes and resource sign-offs can automatically complete a Requirement, so nobody redoes work they've already done

Training on the shared tablet

  • Staff open their own training record from Training on the tablet menu and verify with their PIN. Completing your training on a shared tablet

  • Tablet Managers, Managers and Admins can open anyone's training record with their own PIN and complete training on their behalf. Managing your team's training from the tablet

  • Mark attendance for an in-house session, such as a new starter induction, for up to 50 staff at once with Roll Call

  • Sign off a staff member's competency on the tablet once they've finished their Activities

Training by email

  • Send training to Staff Records without a login through External Requests. One email covers all their Requirements, and the link is valid for 90 days. Sending training through the External Portal

  • Failed quizzes stay on the list with a retry date, and rejected certificate uploads show the reason so staff can fix and resubmit

  • External Requests are available on the Premium plan

Training records, imports and groups


Signatures on forms and resources

  • Sign a form from the app, or choose Team Signing Mode to pass the tablet around and collect everyone's signatures. Add signatures to forms

  • Send a form to someone for their signature

  • Send a resource from the Safe Food Pro app with Require a Signature turned on, so the signature is saved when it's completed. Request a signature on a resource

Send forms to edit

  • Send a started or completed form to someone so they can add their part, one person at a time. Send a form to someone to edit

  • Whoever started a form keeps access to it after someone else continues it, and completed forms and reports show who started a form and who last updated it

QR codes for forms and resources

Fill in forms from the Admin Console

  • Open a form from the Admin Console with Fill form and complete it in a sidebar. Scheduled forms work too, as long as Form Library is turned on in the form's settings. Fill in forms from the Admin Console

  • Anyone can now log in to the web version of the app at mobile.safefoodpro.co.nz (New Zealand) or mobile.safefoodpro.com (everywhere else), whatever their access level

Group users

  • Group Admins can add an Admin, Manager, Internal Auditor or External Verifier (External Auditor outside New Zealand) to every organisation in the group at once. Add a user to every organisation in your group

  • Switching between organisations now also works for SSO providers that don't use tenant IDs

Sensor outages

  • A Corrective Action is now created automatically when a sensor stops reporting or a temperature goes out of range, so every outage has a record of what was done. Manage sensor outages and corrective actions

  • View and filter every outage in the Sensor Outage Register, and download it as a CSV
