Trainings run over several days or modules, often with several facilitators and sometimes in several locations. Paper sheets are signed on behalf of late arrivals, totals are added up by hand at the end of the week, and when a client, manager or certifying body asks who attended which module, the answer is a pile of photocopies. If certificates, payments or continuing-education credits depend on attendance, every padded name costs money or credibility.
Training attendance software for workshops, courses and programmes
Take attendance at every session of a multi-day training, see who completed the programme and issue certificates only to people who actually attended.
Why training attendance is hard to trust
How QRtimer handles it
- One event, many sessions. Register participants once for the programme, then take attendance at every day or module. How events and sessions work.
- Self check-in with a code that changes every few seconds, so people check themselves in and screenshots are useless.
- Check-in and check-out show how long each person stayed, session by session. How to track training attendance and time spent.
- Programme report with every participant against every session, attendance rate and total time, as a PDF on your letterhead.
- Certificates of attendance issued automatically to people who meet your minimum, with a QR code anyone can use to verify them. Certificate of attendance guide.
- Facilitator roles limited to the sessions they run, while managers see the whole programme.

Frequently asked questions
Can I track attendance for a multi-day training?
Yes. Create one event for the training and one session for each day or module. Participants register once and check in at every session; the programme report shows each person against each session.
How do I only give certificates to people who attended?
Set a minimum attendance percentage and, if you use check-out, a minimum number of hours. The report lists who qualifies and issues certificates only to them.
Can trainers see only their own sessions?
Yes. Give trainers the facilitator role and limit them to specific events, or name them as the facilitator of a session.
