Why it exists

The evidence trail was broken. We made it simple.

Every apprenticeship runs on proof of real work. When that proof lives on paper, everyone loses time and some apprentices lose their way.

  • Paper logbooks get lost

    A ute seat, a wet site, a move between jobs. Months of evidence can vanish in a day.

  • Sign off means chasing

    Apprentices chase busy supervisors for signatures, often weeks after the work was done.

  • TAFEs cannot see who is ready

    Without current evidence, trainers find out late who is on track and who needs help.

TradeTicket is digital profiling for apprentices (often called e-profiling): the skills logbook on the phone already in every apprentice's pocket. Apprentices log the work, employers sign it off and RTOs see progress as it happens. One shared record, simple for all three.

Who it is for

Built around the three people every apprenticeship depends on.

  • Apprentices

    Log your week from your phone, back it with photos and always know how close you are to your ticket.

  • Employers and supervisors

    Review real work with the photos in front of you and sign it off from the site, not the office.

  • RTOs and TAFEs

    See the whole cohort, spot who is at risk early and hold evidence with a full audit trail.

What it does

Every feature, in plain English.

All of this works in the demo today, with sample data already loaded.

For apprentices

Log the week, back it with evidence and always know where you stand.

  • Weekly work cards

    Work areas, hours, support level, units, activities, equipment and notes in one card.

  • Simulated work flag

    Mark training done off the job so it is counted the right way.

  • Save entry by entry

    Each work area you save is kept on your draft card, so you can build the week up bit by bit.

  • Weekly hours sanity cap

    Catches typos like 400 hours before they reach your supervisor.

    Upload from your phone, with a clear worksite photo consent notice.
