Comparison

mentro and the digital education report.

Since February 2026 the SDBB has offered a digital education report. A good official tool and exactly right for many companies. The difference from a documentation platform is not the report itself, but the six months before it.

What the digital education report is

On February 25, 2026 the SDBB launched a digital education report, for around 150 EFZ and 40 EBA professions. Trainer and learner assess separately and print a PDF; nothing is stored. mentro produces the same report in the official format; the difference lies in the six months before it.

In short

The digital education report solves the form problem, and it solves it well: official and covering around 190 occupations, while mentro currently supports four in ICT and Mediamatik, with more being added continuously. If you already have the learning documentation under control, or you train learners in a different occupation, you need nothing else. What the form does not ask, though, is what was actually learned in the six months before the appraisal meeting: it deliberately stores nothing, and the assessment stands there without any evidence behind it. That is exactly the question mentro answers: activities and journal entries are captured in seconds during everyday work, voice input included, and the AI maps them to the competencies of the curriculum. At the end of the semester, the report is prepared from that documentation in the official SDBB format and signed electronically by the company and the learner; all semesters remain accessible across the entire apprenticeship. If you want to show in the appraisal meeting what an assessment is based on, you need the months leading up to it, not a better form.
