My progress¶
The My Progress page (top of the navbar once logged in) is your personal report: how you're tracking against every SMP that applies to you, and every session you've attended this period.
What you see¶
For each Skills Maintenance Program (SMP) you have — based on the qualifications you hold — Firecrest shows:
- The SMP name and the qualification it's linked to
- A progress bar with two markers:
- The filled bar is your logged hours so far
- The vertical line is the pro-rated expected target for "now" in the period
- A status badge — see below
- A summary line:
X / Y hrs required · expected Z hrs - A warning if the underlying qualification is expired or expiring soon
Below the SMP cards, a Training Sessions Attended table lists every session you attended this period, with the date, name, hours, and which SMPs each session contributed to.
Status badges¶
| Badge | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Met | You've reached or exceeded the full annual minimum. Job done for the period. |
| Ahead | You're more than 1 hour above the target for this point in the year. |
| On Track | Within 1 hour of the pro-rated target. You're tracking right where you should be. |
| Behind | More than 1 hour below the target. Time to plan a few more sessions. |
The pro-rated target moves linearly through the period — so a 12-hour SMP shows a target of 6 hours halfway through. Don't be alarmed if you start the year showing Behind: just attend a session or two and you'll catch up.
Period navigation¶
Previous/next year buttons at the top of the page let you look at past periods — useful for end-of-year records or seeing what you did last year.
Exporting a PDF¶
Click Export PDF at the bottom of the page to download a single-page printable summary of your SMP progress for the current period. It includes brigade name, your details, the SMP table, and a generated-at timestamp.
This is handy for:
- Personal records
- Showing your boss what you've been doing in your volunteer time
- Audit / acquittal paperwork at year end
When your report seems empty¶
If the page says "No Skills Maintenance Programs linked to this member's qualifications", it means you don't currently hold any qualifications that an SMP applies to. Two possible causes:
- An officer hasn't assigned your qualifications yet — ask them to add them from your member page.
- Your brigade hasn't yet defined SMPs for the qualifications you hold — talk to an officer about which ones should exist.
If the SMP cards show but the Training Sessions Attended table is empty, you just haven't attended any sessions in this period yet. Get out there.
