Which statement about training records is true?

• A. Training records are not required
• B. Training records are kept by the Training organization
• C. Training records are only kept for external audits
• D. Training records are irrelevant to qualifications

Answer: (B)

Keeping documented training records is essential to prove who has completed required training, what was completed, and when. These records are kept by the training organization so they can be readily shown to confirm qualifications, track recertifications, and support both internal and external audits. They are part of compliance with safety and regulatory requirements, not optional. Training records provide the evidence that a person is authorized to perform tasks at the required competency level, so they are directly tied to qualifications. The ideas that records aren’t required, or that they’re only for audits or irrelevant to qualifications, conflict with how training programs maintain safety and competency evidence.
