For union training centres and apprenticeship programs
Training management for union training centres
Deliver apprenticeship levels, upgrading courses and safety tickets across your training sites, and keep each member’s training record complete from first intake onward.
What union training centres deal with
Members train at different sites and on different schedules, and their records end up split between them.
Safety tickets expire on their own schedule, and the centre finds out when a member needs one on a job.
Coordinators and instructors need to see their own members without seeing everyone else’s.
How a training centre runs on OpalLMS
Apprenticeship training, level by level
Set up each level or term as a program that combines online theory with in-person shop time. Members and instructors see what is complete and what comes next.
- Programs made of courses, classes and practical work
- Class sessions with attendance

Upgrading and tickets, tracked to the expiry date
Offer upgrading courses and recurring safety certifications online, in the classroom or both. OpalLMS tracks every expiry and reminds members before a ticket lapses.
- Certifications with validity periods
- Reminders to members and staff before expiry
- Blended certifications: online theory plus an in-person session
