Use this material to examine your own work. Confirm current requirements, forms and dates with ICE before applying.
Record, assess and sign off Training Agreement progress in IPD Online. Employers administer agreements in TAGSO, a separate system that is not linked to IPD Online.
Keep a useful source record
Write entries while the work is fresh. Record dates, your decisions, relevant drawing revisions and supervisor feedback so you can refer to them when preparing your review report.
Retrospective entries are harder to check and can miss important detail. Attach evidence only where you have permission to retain it, and follow your employer’s information rules.
Evidence quality
Look for
- Record an entry within a few weeks of the work, while the reasoning is still recoverable.
- Write what you decided, and why, not what the project delivered.
- Attach real evidence: a calculation extract, a marked-up drawing, a risk assessment you changed.
- Upload your CPD plans and records to the Document Library, as the Training Review requires.
- Record experience from before the agreement started; it counts, once your SCE validates it.
- Keep your own copy. Access to an employer's systems ends when your employment does.
Watch for
- Fill it in the week before an appraisal from memory.
- Paste the same paragraph under several attributes.
- Upload confidential or security-sensitive material without checking it is cleared.
- Assume the record is your report. Reviewers never see it.
- Leave a partial completion unrecorded when you change employer.
Questions to ask yourself
- Does this entry contain a decision I made?
An entry describing what the project did is a project record. An entry describing what you decided is evidence.
- Will this make sense to me in four years?
That is roughly when you will be writing your report from it, and the detail you leave out now will be gone.
- Have I attached anything, and am I still allowed to?
Access to an employer's systems ends when your employment does, and confidential material needs checking before it goes anywhere.
- Did my SCE or DE comment on it?
Their comments are part of the record, and an entry nobody has responded to has not been validated.
