- Agree what an award is before you put it on people
- See what is still in use before you retire a qualification
- Keep codes, levels and delivery methods in one place
Qualifications features
Keep awards trustworthy after the course ends
Define how qualifications work, what they need and when they renew — then keep those rules with the people who hold them.
An award should not live in a spreadsheet that goes stale
Afanor treats qualifications as part of the learner’s story: what they achieved, the evidence behind it, and the date you must not miss.
One catalogue the team can trust
Awarding bodies, types, levels and codes live in one place, so two people are not describing the same award differently.
Rules that actually drive the work
Set pathways, how long an award lasts, whether a certificate number is required, and who should get a reminder.
The award on the person
Achievement, who issued it, the reference, the evidence and the expiry date sit with the learner.
A closer look
What qualifications looks like day to day
These are the parts of the job your team can put to work straight away — focused on outcomes, not entity lists.
How it works
Qualifications as part of the wider journey
Each step stays with the same people, so the next person to pick up the work is not starting from an empty page.
Define
Set up the qualification and the rules that go with it.
Award
Record what the learner achieved, and the evidence that supports it.
Keep it in date
Watch expiry, and write before it becomes a problem.
Built for the team
Useful for every role around the learner
Administrators, trainers and support staff keep their own work, without losing sight of the same person.
Qualification administrators
Keep the catalogue and the awards on people in the same shape.
Learner support teams
Find what they hold, when it runs out, and the file that proves it.
Quality and operations leads
See history and upcoming renewals without rebuilding a report by hand.
What this changes
Less time rebuilding the picture
Qualifications sits with the rest of the week’s work, so you are not rebuilding the picture in another spreadsheet.
- Replace the expiry tracker that only one person knows how to use.
- Keep the award with the learner, not in a side list.
- Turn prerequisite rules into a plan a learner can follow.
- Apply the same certificate, expiry and renewal rules every time.
- Find the evidence when someone asks for it.
Getting started
Bring your process with you
We help you move across from the lists and trackers you already use, and set Afanor up around how your organisation actually works.
Discuss onboardingFrequently asked questions
Can we maintain our own catalogue?
Yes. Awarding bodies, types of qualification, the qualifications themselves and how they are delivered are all things you manage.
Can we record certificate numbers and expiry dates?
Yes. A type of qualification can require a certificate number and an expiry date. The learner’s award then holds what they achieved, when it expires, the reference, who issued it and any notes.
Can qualifications have prerequisites?
Yes. A qualification can define groups of requirements. Afanor uses those as pathways inside a learner’s plan, so they can take one route or another.
Does this stay with the learner?
Yes. The award is part of the same person you already know from CRM and training, not a separate tracker.
Works alongside
What sits next to qualifications
These parts of Afanor share the same people, so you are not starting again in another tool.
Training
From the plan on the wall to the people in the room
Schedule the course, check learners in, run the quiz and follow up before a qualification lapses — without starting again in another tool.
Explore Training
CRM
One place to know every learner
Stop keeping people in one spreadsheet and employers in another. Afanor holds who they are, how to reach them, and what still needs doing.
Explore CRM
Reporting
See what needs a decision this week
Learners, sessions, awards, quizzes and reminders — as reports from the work you already do, not another spreadsheet to feed.
