SkillSeeder originated as a skill sharing marketplace. You could share a skill, or search for courses listed with us and be directed to the training provider. Part of this service was managing Scottish Government training funds through our platform, the most recent ones being Women in Agriculture and Women in Forestry.
From working closely with training providers, we became aware of many of the challenges that they face. Our Managing Director, David, is also a qualified first aid trainer, so we have first-hand knowledge of the paperwork required to run a training event from start to finish. This is what inspired us to create Captis.Â
The development of Captis software for trainers.
Captis has been designed to innovate training delivery as we know it. By setting up training event forms and materials electronically, Captis removes the need for pen and paper, printing, scanning, emailing and shredding. The forms are completed digitally in one app, securely and efficiently.Â
David will be demonstrating the Captis software specifically designed for trainers. We’re very proud to have been part of the development and piloting of Captis and our training team are loving it!
The First Aid Trainers Conference will be on 8th March, 2024 in Carlisle. To find out more and book a place, follow this link.
