Managing employee training doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re running a small business or coordinating teams across multiple departments, keeping track of who completed what – and when – can get overwhelming fast.

That’s why I created this Employee Training Tracker in Google Sheets – a simple, powerful, and fully customizable tool that anyone can use.

✅ Why You Need an Employee Training Tracker

Employees are often required to complete various types of training – from HR onboarding to compliance, safety, finance, or role-specific certifications. Without a system in place, it’s easy to lose track of progress and miss critical deadlines.

This tracker helps you:

• Stay on top of who completed what
• Identify overdue or upcoming trainings
• Automatically flag urgent tasks with colors
• See a dashboard overview per department
• Customize everything to match your needs

📋 What’s Included in the Template

The file is simple to use, but loaded with features:

• Employee Training Sheet:
  Assign names, departments, and training deadlines. Track completions and get automatic visual alerts when something is due soon or overdue.
• Dashboard Sheet:
  See each department’s progress at a glance. It shows how many employees are behind, which trainings are most often missed, and how close you are to full compliance.
• Automatic Highlighting:
  Cells turn yellow when a training is due in X days (default is 10), and red if overdue – no manual checking required.
• Smart Formula Logic:
  Built using ARRAYFORMULA, LOOKUP, OFFSET, and MATCH to automate everything. You only need to input names and due dates.

🛠 How It Works (No Coding Required)

1. Set your departments on the dashboard
2. Enter employee names and assign their trainings
3. Choose the due dates for each training
4. Enter the date when a training is completed
5. The sheet takes care of the rest: alerts, highlights, and next training tracking

Need to add a new training? Just add a new column and enter a date – everything updates automatically.

🎯 Who This Is For

• HR Managers and Training Coordinators
• Small Business Owners
• Department Heads
• Freelancers managing remote teams
• Anyone who loves working in Google Sheets

📈 Bonus: Visual Progress Tracking

The dashboard gives you a clean summary per department. See how many employees have completed each training, and what percentage of your team is fully up-to-date. This helps you prioritize outreach and follow-ups.
