Monitor impact with Skills Tracker

Our online Skills Tracker application comes free with all Leadership Skills Foundation qualifications. Measure and monitor the impact of our programmes on your learners’ confidence and transferable skills with our easy-to-use web-based tracker.  

Learners reflect on their confidence and skills throughout their programme, recording their thoughts for centres to view. This provides motivation for learners and a solid evidence base for centres. 

Skills Tracker is quick and simple to use, and provides a great insight into the impact on students’ personal development. This is really helpful in demonstrating progress to students, parents and senior leaders.
