Training matrix generator
Build the employee-training matrix your auditor expects — positions across the top, trainings down the side. Pick your scheme for a sensible starting set, adjust to your plant, then export to Excel or print. Free, no signup, nothing leaves your browser.
Common training topics in SQF programs. SQF has published Edition 10, with audits on the new edition expected from January 2027 — confirm timing and your actual requirements with your certification body.
| Training | Frequency | Line Operator | Sanitation | QA Technician | Maintenance | Supervisor / Lead | Office / Admin |

The matrix CSV opens in Excel or Google Sheets. The roster template matches TrainGrid's employee importer exactly — fill it with your people and it imports in one step; trainings are then set up in-app in minutes.
Frequently asked
- Is it really free? Do I need an account?
- Completely free, no account, no email. Everything runs in your browser — nothing you type is sent to a server.
- Does this tell me what my certification scheme requires?
- No — and be wary of any free tool that claims to. The suggestions are common training topics under each scheme, meant as a fast starting point. Your code edition, certification body and auditor define your actual requirements.
- Can I import this into TrainGrid later?
- The employee roster template downloads in exactly the format TrainGrid's importer accepts, so your people import in one step. Trainings and recurrence are set up in-app in a few minutes — the matrix you build here is your blueprint for that.
- What's the catch?
- None. If the spreadsheet version of training tracking is working for you, this makes it a bit better. If it stops working — that's the problem TrainGrid exists for, and we'd love to show you.
A matrix is a snapshot. Compliance is a moving target.
The day after you print this, someone gets hired, a certificate expires, and a toolbox talk gets missed. TrainGrid keeps this exact matrix live — color-coded statuses, automatic reminders, sign-in sheets attached to completions, and an answer for the auditor in five seconds.
