What is Ready Skills? 

Ready Skills is essentially a digital logbook that students (apprentices/trainees) use to record their workplace activities each week. Ready Skills successfully replaces paperwork by removing training logs and third party report sign-offs that would otherwise take time to sort out in person.

These students log their weekly activity by selecting icons that depict the workplace activities that make up their daily tasks. Against these icons, the students record hours and their supervision level. They can also include job details and upload a file or photo/notes if relevant.

The student’s weekly entries then require approval/verification from their workplace supervisor.

The purpose behind this logging of activity is to provide valuable information required as part of the assessment process for an RTO.

Profiling also provides valuable information to employers who are wanting to be involved in their student’s training, such as:

•  Their progress through the Qualification, including % completion of the Qualification.
• Gives indication into areas where experience is lacking
• Provides evidence wherein the student is already deemed competent
