One platform for the entire learning journey.
From the first recorded activity to the finished education report: mentro covers the complete cycle of learning documentation, with honest competency measurement and hosting in Switzerland.
Capture learning in the moment
Scraping together on the weekend what happened all week loses half of it. With mentro, learners capture every activity in seconds and mentro maps it to the matching competencies automatically.
- Free-text title, duration in hours, date
- Edit and delete
- Automatic competency mapping on save
- Documented evidence with no extra effort
Reflection that truly helps
Facing a blank page leads to "it was fine" instead of real reflection. mentro guides learners through their reflection with targeted questions, step by step, weekly, biweekly or monthly. Trainers review the entries and give feedback.
- A guided flow instead of a blank page
- Periods configurable per organisation
- Status: draft, submitted, in review, approved
- Review with feedback and competency mapping
Chosen to fit, by AI
The questions are written by hand. Each period the AI picks the ones that fit, matched to occupation, specialisation and training year. Reflection stays fresh instead of turning into routine.
Mapping without extra effort
Subject-related answers are automatically mapped to matching competencies. Before the AI analysis, names and sensitive details are pseudonymised.
From the pilot onwards, guided reflection will be studied scientifically, together with PH Luzern and its vocational education department.
Swiss curricula, built in
Gathering evidence before the appraisal meeting and still not knowing where someone stands? mentro knows the curricula (training ordinances) and collects the evidence automatically from activities, journals and observations. The result is an honest picture per area of competence, not a grade. A competency only counts as achieved once several records come together, at least one of them from a qualified person. So you see early where things are going well and where to step in.
- Hierarchy: area, competency, performance objective
- Information Technologist VET (AD and PD), Mediamatics Technician VET and Digital Business Developer VET available
- Taxonomy levels K1 to K6
- Weighted evidence: observations and reviews count more than self-reports
Set and track goals
Learners set concrete goals and link them to competencies, journals or activities. This turns reflection into real development.
- Create, edit and complete goals
- Status tracking over time
- Context from journal and competency
- Visible to learners and trainer
Evidence for the appraisal meeting
Every semester the education report gets reconstructed from memory under time pressure. mentro walks you through the official form step by step: professional, methodological, social and personal competence, learning documentation, vocational school and inter-company courses, goal review and goals for the next semester. The learner submits their self-assessment beforehand and you see it while filling in. mentro supplies the evidence from activities, journals and competencies; the wording stays yours.
- Step by step through every section of the official form
- The learner’s self-assessment visible while you fill in
- Documented evidence from activities, journals and competencies
- Signed electronically, by parents too for minors
Who supervises whom, at a glance
With several learners, it helps to see clearly who is responsible for whom, especially during holidays or a handover. In mentro you see every supervision as an org chart: who supports whom, who deputises, and any person is one click away. Locations, departments and teams come along with it.
- Supervision network as an interactive org chart
- Main supervision and deputies both visible
- Search, focus, zoom; future and past supervisions too
- Locations, departments and teams, with roles and invitations
The whole apprenticeship on one timeline
Who supervises when, which competencies are in focus this semester, when is the next education report due? In mentro it all sits on one timeline across the whole apprenticeship. Instead of a list of dates, everyone involved sees the same path.
- Focus competencies per semester from the training plan
- Supervision periods with deputies and a note
- Goals, tasks and report dates on the same axis
What else is part of it
Six areas that run alongside daily work without needing a stage of their own.
My Day
The starting point for learners and trainers: open tasks, journals due and what is up today.
Tasks
Assign, work on and grade practical tasks. The grade carries the most weight in the competency picture.
Observations
Trainers record what they see day to day, right on the matching competency.
Grades
School grades complement the picture from the company and feed into the education report.
Files
Evidence, photos and documents sit where they belong: with the activity or the report.
Timeline
The timeline shows without gaps what was documented and assessed, and when.
mentro as an app
The same platform as an app, for everyone who is out and about in the company. Capture an activity right after the work, write a journal entry on the train, get feedback as a notification.
- Capture activities and journals where the work happens
- Notifications for feedback and due entries, optional and switchable
- The full feature set, the same data as in the browser
Access comes through your training company: the app needs an existing mentro account, self-service sign-up follows later. In the browser mentro still runs on any device.
Data you can trust
We stay concrete: everything runs in Switzerland, transmission is encrypted, and every company sees only its own data.
Hosting in Switzerland
Servers (compute) at cloudscale.ch, database at peaknetworks, AI at Infomaniak. All three are Swiss providers.
ISO 27001 certified
cloudscale.ch, the data centre hosting our database and Infomaniak are ISO 27001 certified. ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security.
Encrypted in transit
Everything between device and server is encrypted (TLS), the same way online banking works.
Companies strictly separated
Every company sees only its own data. The database itself enforces the separation (row-level security), not just the application.
