Your day-to-day

From collecting to supporting

Instead of frantically gathering evidence before the appraisal meeting, you always have an up-to-date, complete picture of every learner.

  • Review weekly journals and approve with feedback
  • Track the status in the curriculum live
  • Evidence for the education report always at hand
  • Spot early warning signs before it’s too late

What’s in it for you

Six reasons why trainers work more relaxed with mentro.

Less admin

No more reconstructing progress manually. Activities and journals come together automatically.

Real overview

See at a glance where every learner stands, per competency and per training year.

Report on the official form

The education report is created on the real SDBB form and signed electronically. You write it, mentro supplies the evidence.

Better reflection

Guided questions noticeably raise the quality of learning journals.

Observations that count

Record observations and grade practical assignments: the strongest evidence in the competency picture, stronger than any self-report.

Secure data

Hosted in Switzerland, TLS-encrypted and strictly separated per company.

Supervision at a glance

Who supervises whom, without asking around

With several learners, practice instructors and deputies, the thread is quickly lost. The supervision network shows responsibilities as an org chart, deputies included.

  • Vocational trainer, practice instructor and learners in one view
  • Primary supervision and deputies told apart
  • Search for a person and focus on them

The difference in everyday work

Without mentro

  • Journals written late from memory
  • Progress scattered across Excel and PDFs
  • Education report cobbled together last minute
  • Deficits often become visible too late
  • Feedback via email ping-pong

With mentro

  • Activities captured in real time
  • Everything central in one place
  • Evidence always at hand, you write it
  • Competency gaps spotted early
  • Review and feedback directly in mentro
The education report

Nothing to reconstruct at the end of the semester

The report is filled in electronically, step by step through the official SDBB form. It draws on what was documented over the semester anyway. You write the assessment, mentro puts the evidence next to it.

  • Evidence from activities, journals and observations
  • Signed electronically by company and learner

* SDBB is the Swiss Services Centre for Vocational Education and Training. It publishes the official education report form used across Swiss vocational education.

Questions from everyday supervision

Yes, with the greatest weight. mentro grades every piece of evidence by source: your observations and graded practical assignments count far more than learners' self-reports. A competency only counts as achieved once several independent sources agree, including at least one observation or review from you as the trainer.

At the end of each semester, so twice a year. The training company records how the learner has developed professionally and personally, and agrees on the goals for the coming semester. In practice the official SDBB form is used for this, and mentro uses exactly that form. It is signed by the trainer and the learner. In mentro the evidence from the whole semester is already there, so you do not have to reconstruct six months at the end.

An appraisal meeting is the conversation between trainer and learner in which you go through the education report together: what went well, where the learner stands, what comes next. It usually takes place once per semester, together with the education report. To prepare, look at the activities and journals of the past months in mentro, plus the competency picture with the documented and the still open areas. Both sides then enter the conversation with the same facts instead of memories of the last few weeks. At the end, record the agreed goals directly in the report.
