How National Grid Modernised Technical Training with Onefile

Written by OneFile | Nov 5, 2025 3:19:53 PM

The Challenge

National Grid, a multinational electricity and gas utility company, wanted to replace its paper-based technical logbook portfolio for engineering trainees. The goal was to create an alternative format that would: 

  • Improve governance for signing off evidence 
  • Enable better performance and progress reviews 
  • Support learners through gap analysis

The Solution

National Grid already used Onefile to host its apprenticeship NVQ qualification, so building on this existing relationship was a logical step. The Onefile solution stood out because: 

  • It was easy to use 
  • Portfolios could be exported after learners completed the scheme 
  • Both the Academy and the business could easily track learner progress, fostering meaningful development discussions 

The Impact

By moving to Onefile, National Grid streamlined its governance process, improved visibility of learner progress, and created a more efficient, transparent system for managing technical training.
