Training Management
Role-Based Curricula · Document-Linked Training · Competency Assessments · Retraining Automation
Training records that stay current — automatically. Replace spreadsheet tracking, manual assignment emails, and end-of-year scrambles with a training program that assigns itself when documents change, enforces completion before work proceeds, and gives auditors a complete training history for every employee in seconds.
Training that assigns itself
When a document is revised and approved, Kintavo identifies every user in scope and assigns training automatically — linked to the new version, with a read-and-understood acknowledgment and optional competency check. No manual QA intervention required.
Operational controls, not just records
Untrained users can be blocked from performing work governed by a document they haven't acknowledged. Your training program stops being a paper exercise and starts being an actual control — the kind regulators expect to see enforced.
A complete picture at inspection time
Every training completion, every version it was tied to, every electronic signature, every competency score — all on the user record, retrievable in seconds. When an inspector asks who was trained on a specific SOP version, the answer is one click away.
The link to document control is automatic.
No coordinator updates a spreadsheet. When a document is revised and approved, the training program runs itself — assignments created, staff notified, completion tracked against the specific version.
Records that prove understanding — not just clicks.
Kintavo supports training workflows that include assessment components — so records document that a staff member understood the document, not just that they signed off.
From assignment to verified competency.
When a document changes or a role is added, Kintavo runs the training program automatically — and the audit trail is built in real time.
Trigger
Document revision, new hire, role change, or scheduled re-training.
Assign
Affected roles identified automatically. Records routed to staff.
Acknowledge
Staff complete training with timestamp and 21 CFR Part 11 e-sig.

Optional competency check with configurable pass / fail criteria.
Verify
Manager sign-off captured. Audit trail closed. Re-training scheduled.
Training doesn't live alone.
Every training record links to the document version it covers, the CAPAs it supports, and the audits that test for it.

FAQ Questions & Answers
Q: What types of training can be managed in Kintavo?
Kintavo manages any training your quality program requires — initial role-based onboarding, document-linked read-and-understood assignments, competency assessments, annual retraining, equipment-specific qualification, and regulatory compliance training. Each training type can have its own assignment rules, completion requirements, frequency, and documentation standards. If your SOPs or regulatory requirements mandate it, Kintavo can track it.
Q: How does training-on-change work when a document is revised?
When a controlled document is approved and made effective in Kintavo, the system identifies every user in scope based on their role, site, and assignment — and automatically assigns a training task linked to the new version. The training task includes a read-and-understood acknowledgment with a 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signature, and can include a competency check generated from the change content. Users who don't complete the training by the due date are flagged as overdue, and affected workflows can be configured to block untrained users from proceeding.
Q: Can Kintavo block untrained users from performing work they're not current on?
Yes. Kintavo can be configured to restrict access to specific workflows, procedures, or equipment for users who are not current on required training. If a user's training on a critical SOP lapses or a new version hasn't been acknowledged, they can be prevented from performing the work governed by that document until training is completed. This turns your training program from a documentation exercise into an operational control.
Q: How are training assignments managed for new employees?
When a new user is added to Kintavo and assigned a role, the system automatically generates their initial training curriculum based on the documents, procedures, and competencies associated with that role. New hire training queues populate without any manual assignment from QA or HR. As they complete each item, their training record builds in real time. If onboarding takes longer than expected, overdue flags appear in the manager and QA dashboards.
Q: How does Kintavo handle annual retraining and recurring training requirements?
Recurring training intervals are configured on each training requirement — annually, biannually, or on any custom frequency your SOPs specify. Kintavo calculates the next due date from the last completed training and sends automated reminders before the deadline. Overdue recurring training appears in the QA dashboard and can trigger escalation notifications. The full history of every training completion, including date, version, and electronic signature, is retained on the user record.
Q: Can we build competency assessments inside Kintavo?
Yes. Kintavo includes a competency assessment builder that allows QA teams to create question sets tied to specific documents, procedures, or skills. Assessments can be assigned as part of initial training, triggered on document revision, or required for annual requalification. Pass thresholds, number of allowed attempts, and remediation paths are all configurable. When Kintavo AI is enabled, competency questions can be drafted automatically from the content of the document being trained on.
Q: How does Training Management connect to other modules?
Training records in Kintavo are linked across the platform. Document Control triggers training assignments on every revision. Equipment Management links operator qualification records to specific instruments. CAPA records can initiate retraining as a corrective action. Deviation records can reference training gaps as a root cause. Audit Management can pull training completion reports as audit evidence. Training is not a standalone record — it is a live part of the quality system.
Q: Can we manage training for staff across multiple sites?
Yes. Training records in Kintavo are site-aware. Each user is assigned to a site and department, and training curricula can be scoped to specific locations or shared across all sites. Multi-site organizations can manage their entire training program from one platform while giving site-level QA managers visibility into the completion status of their own staff. Cross-site reporting — identifying training gaps or overdue users across all locations — is available from the central dashboard.
Q: Is the training record 21 CFR Part 11 compliant?
Yes. Every training completion in Kintavo is captured with a time-stamped, user-attributed electronic signature that meets 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 requirements. The training record links to the specific document version that was trained on, the date it was completed, and the competency score if applicable. The complete training history for any user, role, or document is exportable for inspection in seconds.
Q: What does implementation look like for Training Management?
Your implementation lead works with your QA team to configure roles, training curricula, assignment rules, competency assessments, and recurring training schedules — typically within the first two to three weeks of onboarding. Existing training records can be migrated from spreadsheets or prior systems. Most customers have their full training program live, with automated assignments running on document changes, within 30 days of kickoff.
Your training program is only as current as the last time someone updated the spreadsheet.
A document gets revised. QA sends an email. Some staff acknowledge it, some don't, and there's no enforcement mechanism to find out which is which until an auditor asks. Annual retraining reminders go out in batch, get buried in inboxes, and generate a last-minute scramble every December. New hires start performing procedures before their training records are complete because no one has time to build the curriculum manually for every role.
Kintavo Training Management gives you a training program that runs on the logic of your quality system rather than the memory of your QA team. Assignments that trigger automatically when documents change. Curricula that populate when a new employee is onboarded. Completion requirements that block untrained staff from proceeding. And a training record for every employee — tied to specific document versions, signed electronically, and audit-ready without any reconstruction required.
