What a completion record looks like
Every learner gets one when they finish. This is a sample.

- Turning an export somebody else produced into a workbook of your own, and knowing how much of it there is before touching a cell · Finding what is wrong with a supplied file and removing it deliberately, knowing what went and why · Cleaning text and numbers with formulas rather than by hand · Working out a figure for every row and totalling it for the whole file · Summarising by category with one formula repeated, and checking the summary against the whole · Presenting a summary as a chart and a page fit to hand over · Checking your own work at every stage without being told the answer
What was built
One workbook. The export exactly as it arrived, a cleaned table you can sort and filter, a summary of every branch and every category with each branch's share of the whole, a column chart, and a page that prints without cutting anything short.
The 6 sessions, and when each was completed on their own
Each session was completed twice: once with step-by-step guidance on one company’s data, then on a second company’s data from a brief, with guidance only when asked. Every check passed on both. Alongrail records the sessions, the checks and the dates; the dashboard itself is the learner’s own, hosted where they chose.
The record is a description of work you did, not a claim about you. Anyone who opens it can see the work for themselves. It stays private until you publish it, and you can unpublish it at any time.
The name, the course, the date, the skills and the link to the dashboard: that is the whole of it. Nothing on it is about you that you didn’t do.
