Thanks for the further info Bill.

I have been speaking with  people in France who confirm  it is usually the first thing a French company will ask for of an LMS.

I am told employees (of companies with 49+) are entitled to 2 weeks of training.

Is the process of reporting on this an end in itself - done for regulatory sake, or is the data ever used by the organisation or centrally for any learning and development purposes, to measure understanding, for planning ? Just trying to understand specifically what must be reported, if there are other requirements or is it simply time and money?

I have seen some discussions and suggestions around recording CPD hours https://totara.community/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=1268 and https://totara.community/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=1377 which may offer some creative solutions.

The forthcoming improvements to learning plans - 'evidence tab' might help to accommodate capturing learning that takes place out of the Totara Course and Face to Face functionality.

Have you checked with your partner to see if they have developed any solutions around this? Or have any other partners out there worked with French companies who can offer suggestions?

How do some of the 'black box' solutions manage this do you know?

Let me know how you get on as I would like to explore this further.

Sorry that raises far more questions than answers!
