Vendor training software that proves requirements were met.

Vendors, contractors, and suppliers rarely live inside your systems, so training them means giving outside people access to specific requirements without exposing everything else. Vendor training software in IQEducate solves this with external portals: each vendor signs in and sees only the courses you assign or make visible to their group. You brief site rules, safety procedures, quality standards, or onboarding steps once, then invite every vendor who needs them.

Because vendor relationships are often contractual, the important output is proof. Every completion is timestamped and produces a PDF certificate with a unique number, so when a supplier says a crew finished your safety induction, you can show exactly who completed it and when. That record — not just the training itself — is what protects the relationship when questions come up later.

Keep vendors out of your internal training

External learners get a portal scoped to their client group. They never see your employee courses, internal catalog, or other vendors' content — only what you assign or make visible to them.

  • Organize suppliers, subcontractors, and agencies into client groups by company or account
  • Control catalog visibility per group so each vendor sees a relevant, curated set of requirements
  • Invite people by email with token-based links; they accept and sign in with Google, no new passwords

Turn requirements into completable courses

Build a course from sections of typed blocks: rich text for your policies, PDFs of specifications, a short YouTube walkthrough of a process, a checklist of site rules, and a quiz to confirm the vendor actually read it.

Add an attestation block when you need the vendor to formally acknowledge a code of conduct or safety commitment before they can be marked complete.

Verify understanding, not just attendance

Quizzes are graded on the server and support multiple choice, true/false, multi-select, and short answer (short answer is reviewed by a teacher). Pass-rate reporting shows whether your requirements are landing or whether a course needs to be clearer.

Certificates and reports that hold up

On completion, IQEducate issues a downloadable PDF certificate with a unique, verifiable number and stores it. Completion and overdue reports cover external learners exactly like employees, and you can filter and export them to CSV for audits, client reviews, or renewals.

Frequently asked questions

Can vendors see our internal employee training?

No. Vendors are external learners with a portal limited to the content you assign or make visible to their client group. Your internal courses and catalog stay hidden.

How do we give a vendor access?

Send a token-based email invitation. The vendor accepts, signs in with a Google account, and lands in their portal with the assigned requirements ready to complete.

How do we prove a vendor met a requirement?

Every completion is timestamped, and finishing a course auto-generates a PDF certificate with a unique number that can be verified. Completion and overdue reports export to CSV.

Can vendor training repeat each year?

Yes. Recurring assignment rules support schedules from one-time through yearly plus custom day intervals, with reminder emails before and after the due date and escalation for overdue learners.

Can we group vendors by company?

Yes. Client groups let you organize suppliers and contractors by company or account and control which catalog content each group can see.
