Check Off-the-Job Training Hours Against the Monthly Requirement — Free
Total hours over a whole programme can look healthy while a single month falls short. Work month by month so completed sessions and sessions already booked are both counted.
The proof surface
Certification ledgers track credits toward a renewal. This compares logged training hours with a stated monthly requirement and separates hours already booked from hours still missing.
Why the flat version breaks
Averaging across the year
An averaging calculation hides a month that has already failed the requirement.
Counting planned as completed
Only booked sessions can be subtracted from the gap.
Assuming every activity counts
Programme rules decide what qualifies; check them before logging.
How to work the training hour gauge
Enter the monthly hours from the programme handbook, contract or training plan. The illustrative six hours is not a legal entitlement and every programme differs.
Count attendance that actually happened, including e-learning, mentoring and shadowing only if the programme counts them. Do not round a partial session up to a full one.
Booked sessions reduce the gap even before they happen. Two completed plus one booked leaves three missing from a six-hour month; the first two sample months leave five missing in total.
Any positive remainder is flagged. Move the missing hours into free calendar time before the reporting deadline, and keep evidence such as attendance records or a signed log.
What the training hour gauge replaces
| Question | Before | Visible working |
|---|---|---|
| Averaging across the year | An averaging calculation hides a month that has already failed the requirement. | Log completed hours honestly |
| Counting planned as completed | Only booked sessions can be subtracted from the gap. | Subtract what is already booked |
| Assuming every activity counts | Programme rules decide what qualifies; check them before logging. | Book the remainder early |
A local arithmetic aid replaces hand calculation, not expert review. No paid AI service is needed.

FIRST-LOAD
Research prototype — checkout unavailable. Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
This records training hours you supply and is not legal, immigration or funding advice. Confirm what qualifies and when it is due with the programme provider, employer or relevant awarding body.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the training hour gauge: your training month | hours completed | hours already booked stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Go deeper: the companion app files the same reading as a climbing rung ladder
The article demo above runs without limits. The companion app keeps a local history, exports the rows as CSV, prints the training hour gauge reading, and holds your drafts on this device — one complete free run; the proposed $4 one-time filing layer is not currently for sale.
The training hour gauge reading is complete for free. The optional $4 layer adds print, row CSV and the last five local reading summaries; it does not add hidden answers. Checkout is not configured yet; the article demo remains unlimited.

What this is built on
- Method: Booked sessions reduce the gap even before they happen. Two completed plus one booked leaves three missing from a six-hour month; the first two sample months leave five missing in total.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-29, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.
Before: An averaging calculation hides a month that has already failed the requirement. After: the training hour gauge shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.
Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this training hour gauge, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a training hour gauge. Return plain rows only: training month | hours completed | hours already booked. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: training month | hours completed | hours already booked. No AI response is executed as code.
