Learning & Certification Management
Municipalities carry real liability risk when certifications lapse — First Aid, WHMIS, confined space entry, DZ driver's licences, fire certification, and JHSC qualifications. PCL One's learning and certification module maintains a centralized register with automated renewal alerts, mandatory training assignment, and completion tracking — so certifications do not slip through the cracks.
Certification tracking
- ✓Centralized certification register for all employees
- ✓Automated renewal alerts at 90, 60, and 30 days before expiry — sent to the employee, their supervisor, and HR
- ✓Certificate and document attachment against each employee’s record
- ✓Expiry date tracking for: First Aid, WHMIS, confined space entry, DZ/AZ driver’s licences, H2S, fall arrest, fire certification, flagging, JHSC certification, and employer-defined credentials
- ✓Exception reporting: dashboard of expiring and expired certifications by employee, department, and type
- ✓Compliance dashboard for HR and safety managers
Learning management (LMS)
- ✓Native LMS — no separate licence required
- ✓SCORM and xAPI (Tin Can) course formats supported
- ✓Upload and host the municipality’s own training content
- ✓Mandatory training assignment by role, department, employment type, or compliance requirement
- ✓Role-based training plans automatically assigned on hire, transfer, or role change
- ✓Completion tracking at individual and organization level
- ✓Overdue training flags and escalation
- ✓Training records retained within the employee profile (audit-ready)
- ✓Scheduled reports for compliance review
Specific to municipal workforces
- ✓Volunteer firefighter certification tracking integrated with HR record
- ✓Health and Safety compliance training linked to the H&S module
- ✓Ontario-specific mandatory training: AODA, WHMIS, workplace harassment prevention, confined space — configured as compliance requirements
- ✓Policy acknowledgement (e-signature): employees confirm they have read policies; completion is tracked and auditable
What this replaces
- —Spreadsheet-tracked certification renewals
- —Manual follow-up by HR when licences are about to expire
- —Disconnected training records across departments
- —Paper-based policy sign-off with no searchable history
