Revised Schedule Mrequires proof ofcompetency. Not justproof of training.
SEEKImpact goes beyond training records - helping manufacturers assess and document whether employees have the knowledge and capability required for their roles.

Built specifically for GMP-regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing. Aligned to the workforce capability challenges created by Revised Schedule M.
Revised Schedule M has changed the meaning of "trained."
Revised Schedule M places greater emphasis on the qualification, competence, and ongoing training of personnel involved in pharmaceutical manufacturing. A training attendance record can show that a session was completed. It does not, by itself, demonstrate that an employee has the knowledge and capability required to perform a specific role effectively.
This creates a critical gap for many pharmaceutical manufacturers. Traditional Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Training Management Systems (TMS) are designed primarily to track who completed what, when, and whether the training was overdue. They are not designed to establish whether employees have the competencies required for their roles or identify where capability gaps may create operational or compliance risk. Our practical framework for closing the Revised Schedule M capability loop explains how to connect training records with demonstrated competency.
3 Things Your Training System Needs to Support
1
Role-specific qualification - not generic training
Training should be connected to the responsibilities, skills, and competencies required for each role - not limited to generic GMP orientation or course completion.
2
Evidence of competency - not just attendance
Organizations need a way to assess whether employees have acquired the knowledge and capability required to perform their assigned responsibilities - not simply whether they attended a training session.
3
A defensible qualification trail - not just a training history
When qualification is questioned, organizations should be able to connect role requirements, training, assessment, competency evidence, and qualification status in a clear, traceable record.
Role requirements
Training
Assessment
Competency evidence
Qualification status
The Shift
Training completion answers
“Did this employee complete the required training?”
Workforce capability answers
“Is this employee qualified and capable of performing the role?”
That is the gap SEEKImpact is designed to close.
Training software designed for Schedule M standard, not adapted to it.
SEEKImpact was designed to connect role requirements, learning, assessment, and workplace capability in one system.
Instead of treating training as a standalone activity, SEEKImpact creates a structured qualification pathway for each role - helping manufacturers assess whether employees have acquired the knowledge and capability required for their responsibilities and maintain a clear record of their qualification journey.
Capability Highlights
Role-Based Qualification Paths
Map learning and competency requirements to each employee's role, responsibilities, and applicable SOPs - rather than relying on one-size-fits-all training.
Scenario-Based Competency Assessment
Assess employees against practical, role-relevant situations to test application and decision-making - not just recall of training content.
Manager Validation
Enable supervisors to validate workplace capability, adding an operational layer of evidence alongside learning and assessment results.
Connected Qualification Records
Bring role requirements, learning completion, assessment results, and manager validation together in a structured, traceable qualification record - reducing the need to assemble evidence manually.
Why this matters before your next inspection
For many manufacturers, training data is fragmented across LMS reports, spreadsheets, assessments, SOPs, and manager sign-offs. The challenge is connecting this information to show who is qualified, for what role, and with what evidence.
SEEKImpact brings it together in one workforce capability platform, giving Quality and Training teams visibility into:
Who is qualified for each role
Which competencies have been assessed
Where capability gaps exist
Who needs further development
What evidence supports qualification
From fragmented training records to connected workforce capability.
Frequently asked questions
Does Revised Schedule M require a specific training software, or can we stay compliant with our current LMS?
Revised Schedule M does not mandate a specific software platform. The key is having appropriate processes and records for personnel qualification and training. Traditional LMS platforms primarily track training completion; SEEKImpact goes further by connecting role requirements, learning, assessment, and qualification evidence.
What counts as "proof of competency" under Revised Schedule M?
Training completion alone does not establish competency. A stronger qualification record connects the employee's role requirements with relevant training, assessment results, and, where applicable, manager or supervisor validation of workplace capability.
What is the difference between training completion and competency?
Training completion answers, "Did the employee complete the required training?" Competency answers, "Does the employee have the knowledge and capability required to perform the role?" SEEKImpact connects learning with assessment and workplace validation to provide a more complete view of workforce capability.
How long does it take to get a facility's training records Schedule M-ready?
The timeline depends on the number of roles, competencies, SOPs, and existing training content that need to be mapped. SEEKImpact can help prioritize core roles and qualification pathways and establish a phased implementation plan.
Is this only for large manufacturers, or does it work for mid-sized export-oriented facilities too?
SEEKImpact is designed for GMP-regulated pharmaceutical manufacturers of different sizes, including Indian manufacturers supplying regulated international markets. The platform can scale with workforce size, roles, and competency requirements.
