More transparency.
Less effort.
Learners document and reflect on their work as part of everyday practice. mentro links the entries to the training plan, makes progress in competencies visible and creates a sound basis for the education report.
- Data in Switzerland
- Honest competency measurement
- By trainers, for trainers
Too much effort. Too little overview.
Learning journals are often written after the fact, information sits in different places and the current level of competency is hard to see. By the time the education report is due at the latest, progress has to be pieced together laboriously.
Information is scattered everywhere
Learning journals, notes and evidence sit in Excel, PDFs and various tools instead of one central place.
The level of competency is hard to see
There is no quick overview of where learners stand and where action is still needed.
Reflection often stays superficial
Without clear guiding questions, learners find it hard to make sense of their experiences and draw concrete insights from them.
Progress has to be pieced together by hand
Trainers spend time asking around, consolidating and reconstructing, especially before the education report.
The link to the training plan is missing
Activities and reflections are hard to connect to the competencies required by the training plan.
Everything in one place. Progress visible at any time.
mentro connects documentation, reflection, competencies and education reports in one central system.
Everything modern learning support needs
Six building blocks that work together, instead of six tools that don’t talk to each other.
Honest competency measurement
mentro brings together evidence from several sources and weights every record by how reliable its source is. Trainer observations carry many times the weight of self-reports, and who assessed a competency stays traceable.
Real-time capture, auto-mapped
Capture activities in the moment instead of weeks later from memory. mentro automatically maps the texts to matching curriculum competencies.
Guided learning journals
Over 80 carefully selected reflection questions in five stages, from simple description to comparing several perspectives. The AI picks them automatically to fit learning year and competency.
Observations & practical assignments
Trainers record observations and grade practical assignments: the strongest evidence in the competency picture.
Education report in SDBB* format
The report builds on real data and is geared towards the appraisal meeting. You write deliberately, mentro provides the documented evidence. Electronically signed by company and learner.
Hosting in Switzerland
Servers at cloudscale.ch, database at peaknetworks, AI at Infomaniak. All platform data stays in Switzerland. Transmission is encrypted, and every company sees only its own data. We use no US providers for the platform.
* SDBB is the Swiss Services Centre for Vocational Education and Training. It publishes the official education report form used across Swiss vocational education.
Strengths and gaps: early, not too late
From recorded activities, journals and competency evidence, an honest overview emerges: depth and breadth per area of competence. You write the education report deliberately. mentro provides the evidence, AI assists but does not grade.
- Spot strengths and gaps early, not at the end of the semester
- Competency development transparent across the whole training year
- Targeted reflection with pedagogically chosen questions
- Depth and breadth per area of competence at a glance
- Observations and graded assignments carry the most weight
The whole picture at a glance
Status in the curriculum, evidence mix and competency radar on one dashboard. Strengths and gaps are immediately visible, so supervision starts where it matters.
Honestly transparent: our roadmap
The product is built. The pilot has been running since August 2026 with real training companies; the scientific validation of the measurement model begins with the pilot.
The project is funded by the Kick Foundation through its IdeaKick programme.
