Electrician Ben Baker details how installer feedback is shaping updates and functionality for the CPD Progress Tracker App.
Direct feedback from working electricians is driving the ongoing development of the CPD Progress Tracker App, an intuitive digital platform designed to help trade professionals record and manage their continuing professional development. Created by electrician and inventor Ben Baker, the app aims to simplify the admin burden faced by installers keeping up with evolving industry standards, qualification renewals, and wiring regulations.
Following initial deployment across the electrical sector, ongoing user input has led to functional improvements targeted at site reality. Electricians relying on the platform to log training hours, certificates, and learning modules have requested streamlined workflows, improved document storage, and clearer progress overviews. The feedback loop ensures that future software updates focus directly on site usability rather than unnecessary complex features.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for? For sparkies and trade professionals, using low-cost or free digital tracking apps changes how they evaluate overall overheads and compliance costs. Staying current with BS 7671 updates and manufacturer product training often dictates which specialist tools or test equipment an electrician is qualified to deploy. While software like this does not change the over-the-counter price of test instruments at Toolstation or electrical wholesalers, using dedicated tracking apps prevents costly lapses in certification, ensuring installers remain eligible for scheme registration and commercial sub-contracts.
Tradespeople using digital logging tools should regularly audit their training records to avoid last-minute rushes during scheme assessments or audits. Taking two minutes on site to upload certificates or course logs prevents lost paperwork and keeps trade credentials fully up to date.
