How awesome would it be to have all of your important documents and credentials that you have earned during your time as an apprentice, or as a journey-level worker, right at your fingertips? Suppose an immediate need arises with your contractor, and you are needed to work at a secure facility, but before you can go, your clearance information is needed. Will you have it readily available, or will you miss out? The electrical training ALLIANCE is excited to announce one of the many amazing features within the PTSI Online Learning System (OLS) — the My Records Area.
You can access My Records either through the OLS or the PTSI app. My Records is a safe and effectively efficient way for:
- Training Administrators to store and review apprentice and journey-workers completions and credentials from the TMS.
- Apprentices and Journey-workers to upload other qualifying documents (i.e. CDL, Drivers Lic., Electricians License or Permit, College Transcript, etc) to go along with those earned at the training center. (User uploads are not shared unless the user chooses to share them. Uploads completed by the program are only visible to the program and each user individually.)
- Apprentice and Journey-workers to share their credentials when needed. (i.e. on boarding, job assignments requirements, contractor application to bid details, etc.)
The My Records tool is provided as a means for IBEW-NECA workers to be able to easily store, upload, and share their qualifications and credentials identifying them as Qualified Electrical Workers.
PTSI App
For those on the PTSI OLS, gaining access to the My Records area is as easy as downloading the PTSI app. The app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or by going to https://protechskillsinstitute.org/ now. If you are not on the OLS, you will have access to the app; but not My Records.

Video Details and Benefits
By watching each topic’s videos, you will understand how to maximize the 
benefits of the My Records area. The three main classifications of the My Records area are course completions, qualifications, and other credentials. Based on a students’ online course performance, hands-on skills evaluations, and other credentials, training program administrators can mark Course Completions for all students through the Training Management Systems (TMS) grades management feature. The Qualifications area holds industry certifications related to your work in the electrical field and your ability to perform the work. Not only will you be able to input all of your certification information into the Qualifications area, but you will also have the opportunity to capture an image and upload your supporting documents.
