Why Teams Love Our Certification and Progress Tracking System

Training That’s Designed for Patent Teams — Not Just Individuals

In most law firms, training happens ad hoc — one assistant is trained by another, or someone “figures it out” on a deadline. This creates inconsistency, errors, and dependency on individual know-how.

Our certification and progress tracking system is built to fix that — and give teams a structured, transparent, and scalable way to build drawing capability.


Why Teams Use It

Whether you’re training new hires or expanding drawing responsibilities within your team, our system supports:

  • Clear accountability — know exactly who completed what
  • Skill visibility — see which staff are certified in which tasks
  • Standardized output — reduce variance between team members
  • Confident delegation — assign tasks based on verified ability
  • Scalable onboarding — repeatable training for future hires

This isn’t just about training — it’s about operational reliability.


How the System Works

Each learner progresses through a structured path:

  1. Focused Lessons — short, task-based modules (e.g., annotating, editing, drafting)
  2. Practice-Based Evaluation — learners complete real drawing tasks, not quizzes
  3. Silent Video Comparisons — staff can review correct techniques on their own
  4. Certification — issued only after completing the key tasks correctly
  5. Progress Dashboard — team leads can view status across the group

This model allows attorneys and managers to track learning without micromanaging.


Real Outcomes for Real Teams

Firms using this system report:

  • Less back-and-forth on drawing corrections
  • Faster onboarding of new paralegals and assistants
  • Higher confidence when delegating drawing tasks
  • Better cross-coverage when someone is out of office
  • More predictable turnaround times on figures

In short, training becomes a system, not a gamble.


Why Certification Matters More Than You Think

Most firms don’t formally track who can do what. That leads to:

  • Uneven quality
  • Missed deadlines
  • Reliance on “go-to” staff who become bottlenecks

By introducing certification tied to real tasks, firms create:

  • Internal clarity on staff capabilities
  • A benchmark for delegation and performance
  • A way to recognize and grow in-house expertise

This doesn’t just benefit operations — it builds morale, confidence, and team flexibility.


For Partners, Managers, and Attorneys Who Delegate

If you’re a partner or team lead, you don’t need to learn drawing yourself — but you do need:

  • A team that can execute consistently
  • A way to see who’s ready to take on what
  • Confidence that drawing tasks won’t bounce back due to errors

Our certification and tracking system is built for exactly that.
