The Capytech training management system. Every live session, booking and training record, in one place with your online courses. The training calendar shows every session by week, room and trainer, with places, waiting lists and bookings to approve. Open a session to take the register, or message everyone booked. Marking attendance completes the record for everyone present. For your people, a session is a stop on their journey. They book a place, join the waiting list if it's full, and add it to their own calendar. The compliance matrix maps each job role to the training it needs, and shows every gap, renewal and expiry at a glance. The skills matrix tracks levels against a target for each role, and points out where a team falls short. Training done elsewhere is logged with the certificate as evidence. Once a manager approves it, it counts. The training budget tracks spend by category and month, forecasts the year, and keeps every supplier's cost and rating. And when the auditor arrives, the audit pack is one click: the report, the spreadsheets, signed policies and evidence. The Capytech LMS and TMS. Book a free demo at capytech.co.uk.

What a TMS does

Everything around the training, in one system

A training management system runs the operation behind training: what needs to happen, who needs it, when and where it runs, who delivers it, what it costs and whether it was done. Without one, that work usually lives in spreadsheets, shared calendars and email.

  1. 1

    Plan

    Set the courses each job role needs and how often, see the gaps in the compliance and skills matrices, and plan sessions against the year’s budget.

  2. 2

    Book

    Put sessions on the calendar with a room, a trainer and a number of places. People book from their own journey, join a waiting list or wait for a manager’s approval.

  3. 3

    Run

    Trainers see who is coming, message everyone booked and take the register on the day. Attendance completes the record for everyone present.

  4. 4

    Prove

    Certificates with check codes, reminders before anything expires and an audit pack for any date range, with the evidence files zipped.

Features

Built for the people who run training

Training managers, trainers, line managers and compliance teams work from the same calendar and the same records.

  • Training calendar

    Every live session on one calendar, by day or week, with a room view and a trainer view so clashes show before they happen.

  • Sessions, rooms and trainers

    Set up a session with a room or an online link, a trainer, a number of places and whether bookings need approval. Trainers keep their own notes on each session.

  • Bookings and waiting lists

    People book from their own learning journey or join the waiting list. When someone withdraws, the place goes to the next person in line and they are told.

  • Manager approvals

    Booking requests, waiting list promotions and training done elsewhere wait in one queue for the manager, with any evidence attached, and are approved in one click.

  • Registers and attendance

    The trainer takes the register from the session, and everyone marked present has the session completed on their record. Everyone booked can be messaged at once.

  • Compliance matrix by job role

    Rules say which courses each job role needs and how often. Every person is shown against every required course, with expiry dates, and gaps are enrolled in one go.

  • Skills matrix

    Skill levels from 0 to 4 with a target for each role. Linked courses raise a level when they are finished, so you can see where a team is below target and plan for it.

  • Training budget and forecast

    A budget for the year with spend by category, a month by month view and a forecast of where the year will land at the current rate.

  • Training done elsewhere

    External courses are logged with the provider, date, cost and certificate. Once approved they count on the record, in the budget and in the audit pack.

  • Suppliers and course ratings

    Each supplier with contact details, how often they were used, what they cost and how people rated their courses, so you know who was worth the money.

  • Reminders and weekly digest

    Due date and renewal reminders, overdue alerts and booking confirmations, each with its own switch and timing, plus a weekly summary for every manager.

  • Audit pack

    For any date range: compliance by person, gaps to close, attendance, certificates, signed policies and outside training, with the evidence files zipped.

LMS built in

The learning side is already there

Live sessions sit on each person’s learning journey next to their online courses, policies to sign and knowledge checks. SCORM, xAPI and video play inside the platform, and certificates carry a check code anyone can verify. One system, one record per person.

For line managers

Answers without chasing anyone

Managers see their own team and nobody else’s. Each person shows as on track, at risk, overdue or done, by plain rules, and the requests waiting for the manager sit in one place.

  • Ask in plain English, for example who will not finish compliance by the end of the month, and get the list of names
  • Nudge everyone on the list in one click, by email and in their messages, logged on their record
  • A person page with their route, certificates, skills, booked sessions and private manager notes
  • A weekly digest of what was finished, who is overdue and what is coming up
A line manager’s team view: a plain English question box, each person’s route, next stop and status as overdue, at risk or on track, compliance by course and approvals waiting

Ready for your sector

FAQ

TMS questions we are asked

What training managers and compliance teams check before they move off spreadsheets.

What is a training management system (TMS)?

A training management system runs the operation behind training: planning what each role needs, scheduling sessions with rooms and trainers, taking bookings and registers, handling approvals and waiting lists, tracking the budget and proving compliance. The Capytech TMS does this with a full learning management system built in, so live and online training share one record.

Who needs a training management system?

Any organisation that runs live training as well as online courses: classroom sessions, inductions, practical or on-site training, refreshers that expire, or courses bought from outside suppliers. If training is planned in spreadsheets and shared calendars and evidenced by signed sheets, a TMS replaces that work.

Does it work with Outlook and Teams?

Each person gets a private calendar link that puts their booked sessions, due dates and renewals into Outlook, Google or Apple Calendar. Sessions can run in a room or online in Microsoft Teams or Zoom, and staff sign in with their Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace accounts.

How does the compliance matrix work?

You set rules for which courses each job role needs and how often they must be renewed. The matrix shows every person against every required course as valid, due, overdue or never done, with expiry dates. Tick the people missing a course and enrol them in one go, and renewals reopen on their own when a certificate expires.

Can we bring our existing training records across?

Yes. We import your people, job roles and past completion records with their original dates as part of a quoted migration, so the compliance matrix and renewal dates are right from the first day.

How is the TMS priced?

The TMS is part of the Capytech platform and is priced by number of users and tier, with hosting, support and updates included. The training calendar, bookings, registers and compliance matrix come with the Advanced tier, and the skills matrix and training budget with Visionary. Set-up and migration are quoted as a fixed price.

Where is our training data held?

In the UK, on AWS in the London region, with daily UK backups and a 99.5% availability service level. Each client runs on its own instance, Capytech UK Ltd is Cyber Essentials certified, and we process data under UK GDPR with a data processing agreement.
