Two things that work as one

We build the software that holds training requirements, qualification records and the evidence behind them. And we provide the people who design, build and maintain the program those records describe. Both work from the same systematic approach to training.

The method is built into the product, not bolted on

VISION and Qlarity were designed around the systematic approach to training by people who had run these programs. The traceability a reviewer asks for is enforced by the software, not reconstructed afterwards.

Software is the core. Our expertise is available with it

VISION and Qlarity are the product. They hold the task list, the objectives derived from it, the curriculum, the assessments, who is qualified and the evidence behind every one of those claims. They keep those links intact as roles, procedures and task lists change, which is the part manual systems lose first.

Because the platforms were built around the method rather than around courses, the discipline is in the product. You do not need a consultant to make the software behave like a qualification system.

What our people add is judgment on the inputs. When an analysis is old, thin or missing, or a program has to be built from nothing, the same practitioners who shaped the software will do that work with you. Most customers take both. Plenty run the platform on their own.

Start from the problem you actually have

Four ways into the same answer. Every one of them runs on the platform. What changes is how much of the surrounding work you want to hand over.

Qualification management

We cannot reliably say who is qualified for what

The requirement, the assessment, the status and the evidence, held together rather than reconciled by hand.

  • Requirements mapped to roles
  • Qualification status assembled from mixed evidence
  • Program structure established and maintained

Audit readiness

Every review turns into an evidence hunt

Preparation should be retrieval and review, not reconstruction. The structural work happens once, and the platform holds the chain afterwards.

  • Evidence traceable from task to record
  • Findings closed at the cause, not the symptom
  • Mock evaluations and coaching prep

Job and task analysis

The analysis underneath the program is old or missing

Our people facilitate and validate the analysis. The software keeps the result connected to objectives, curriculum and qualifications instead of leaving it in a document.

  • Task identification validated with your experts
  • Difficulty, importance and frequency rating
  • Train or no-train decisions documented

Professional services

We need the program built, not just the software

Analysis, program design, materials development, compliance support and administration, run by people who have sat on both sides of an evaluation.

  • Build a program from the analysis forward
  • Materials, assessments and test items
  • Administration run as a managed service

The deliverable is not the point. The capability is

Your experts own the content. We own the method that gets it out of their heads and into a record an evaluator will accept, and we leave that method behind with them.

The software underneath all of it

Two platforms, both built on the systematic approach to training. Which one fits depends on your industry and where your programs run today.

VISION

The system of record for nuclear and other highly regulated operations. Authoring and delivery on one set of data, hosted or on your own infrastructure.

Qlarity

A single cloud application arranged around the phases of the method, and the current generation of the Quality Training Database.

MADDIE

A supervised, domain-trained assistant available on cloud-hosted VISION, answering questions inside your own isolated instance.

The method does not change with the regulator

What changes is what a reviewer will accept as evidence. The analysis, the traceability and the records work the same way underneath.

We work to NERC PER-005, INPO, NRC, IAEA, WANO and FAA expectations today, across nuclear generation, transmission and distribution, new build and small modular reactors, aviation, government and oil and gas. The list is not the point. Wherever the work is high-consequence and somebody external decides whether your people are qualified, the same method applies.

If your regime is not one we have named, that is usually a question of which evidence a reviewer asks for, not whether the approach transfers.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask before deciding which half they need.

Do we have to buy the software and the services together?

No. Analysis, program build, materials development and administration are all sold as standalone projects, whatever system you run. And the platforms are sold on their own. They are scoped together most often because a documented program has to live in a system or it decays.

Which platform is right for us?

VISION runs hosted or on your own infrastructure and is where most nuclear programs sit. Qlarity is a single cloud application and carries the documented path off the legacy Quality Training Database. Both manage the same objects, so the choice is usually about industry, generation and hosting rather than capability.

How is this different from an LMS?

A learning management system manages content, enrollment and completion. A qualification system connects job requirements, assessments, demonstrated capability and the evidence behind them. Most regulated organizations end up needing both. The full comparison is on the LMS and qualification management page.

Where should we start if the program is already in trouble?

With the analysis, not the software. A review establishes what the job requires, what your current program covers and the gap between the two. Everything downstream inherits that answer, so migrating first usually relocates the problem.

How long has FOCUS Learning been doing this?

Since 1985. That matters less as a credential than as a reason our consultants have sat on the other side of an evaluation, and our software is shaped by four decades of arguments about what a reviewer will actually accept as evidence.
