Welcome to Time2Track!
Time2Track is a tool used for tracking, verifying, and managing experiences. Individuals, including trainees, interns, postgraduates, and professionals, use Time2Track to track the details of these experiences. Individuals then submit these experiences to their supervisors and faculty members for approval. Organizations, graduate programs, and training sites can monitor their trainees' progress, track Online Approval requests, and generate training reports.
Onboarding Process
The onboarding process includes a sequence of pre-onboarding tasks that are initiated and completed by you, followed by 3 phases where you work in conjunction with an account manager. Any item listed as required must be completed for Time2Track to work. Items marked as optional are features you can elect to use depending on your program’s needs. As you work through each step, reference our frequently asked questions or reach out to your account manager for assistance.
Timeframe for Completing Account Setup:
Given your day-to-day work responsibilities, how long it takes you to complete the pre-onboarding steps can vary. Once pre-onboarding is completed, it's likely you'll need an additional 2-4 weeks to complete the final 3 phases of onboarding. Be sure to dedicate some time each day or week to complete the actions below. It may be helpful to bookmark this page so you can easily return to it as you complete your account setup.
