Prequalification Training Evidence You Can Find
SSIP, PAS 91-style and buyer PQQs often ask how you manage workforce training. Keep the records and files in one matrix — FieldClear does not complete the questionnaire.
- Named records behind the PQQ training questions
- Expiry status calculated from today
- Files on the worker, not in a bid folder
- We do not fill in the questionnaire

The question is operational even when the form is not
PQQs ask about training management. Assessors still want to see that dates and files exist. Maintain the matrix; map answers yourself.

CHAS, Constructionline, client PQQs and framework forms overlap. Keep one record and filter — do not rebuild folders per logo.

You are receiving this because you manage training records for Northgate Mechanical. Reminder timing is set by your organisation.
How it works
From spreadsheet to live matrix in minutes.
No implementation project. No onboarding calls. Start with the file you already maintain.
Step 1: Upload your matrix
Import your existing Excel or CSV file.
Step 2: We organise it
Map workers, roles, requirements and expiry dates.
Step 3: See what needs attention
Instantly see expired, expiring and missing requirements.
Quick answer
Prequalification training evidence is the named-worker records, dates and certificate files that sit behind PQQ questions about how you manage training. FieldClear stores that operational evidence. It does not complete PAS 91-style forms, accredit you, or decide what a buyer will accept.
Policy yes, evidence no
The PQQ says you have a training matrix. The matrix is an Excel file last saved before Christmas. Assessors and buyers increasingly ask for named evidence, not a sentence. A live record with files attached is the difference.
Keep the evidence; write the answers yourself
- Run one operational matrix all year.
- When a PQQ arrives, filter to the workforce you will describe.
- Export or show current, expiring and missing against assigned roles.
- Attach files so a follow-up request is not a weekend hunt.
- Do not treat a submitted PQQ as a reason to stop updating the matrix.
What FieldClear does not do
- It does not complete or submit prequalification questionnaires.
- It does not accredit you to any scheme.
- It does not tell you which answers a buyer wants.
You can keep using Excel. But Excel won’t chase expiries for you.
Excel is flexible, familiar and free, which is exactly why almost every contractor starts there. The limitation isn’t the spreadsheet — it’s that a spreadsheet can only tell you what someone last typed into it.

Plenty of contractors run a perfectly good spreadsheet for years. The question isn’t whether Excel works — it’s whether anyone is checking it the week something quietly expires.

Questions people ask before signing up
Does FieldClear get us CHAS or SafeContractor accredited?
No. Accreditation schemes set their own criteria and assess your organisation. FieldClear helps you keep the training records, expiry dates and evidence that audits often ask to see — it does not replace the accreditation process or guarantee a pass.
Can I store certificates?
Yes. Attach supporting evidence such as PDFs and images to worker records, so the certificate sits alongside the expiry date rather than in a separate folder.
Can I import my existing Excel training matrix?
Yes. Upload an Excel or CSV file, map the columns to workers, roles, qualifications and expiry dates, then preview the result. Nothing is created until you confirm the import.
Does the software tell me which qualifications are legally required?
No. The system helps you track the requirements your organisation assigns. You remain responsible for determining what applies to your workers and activities. We do not provide legal or health and safety advice.
Can I get reminders before certificates expire?
Yes. The system monitors expiry dates and sends reminders in advance. You choose how far ahead reminders are sent and who receives them.
Is my data private?
Each organisation's data is isolated from every other organisation's. Documents and records are encrypted in transit and at rest, access is controlled by user permissions, and you can export or delete your data at any time. We host in the UK and EU.
How does the free trial work?
You get 14 days with the full product and no card required. Import your matrix, invite colleagues and see whether it fits how you work. If you do nothing at the end of the trial, the account simply stops.
Your training matrix already exists. Make it useful.
Upload your spreadsheet and turn it into a live view of who’s current, what’s expiring and what needs attention.
