FAQs re using TPRO

Who controls what information in TPRO?

  • Each staff member has full control over their own Staff Professional Records (i.e. their staff general info, professional development info and professional journal) and has, at a minimum, view access to their own Service-Related Staff Records (i.e. teacher registration info, staff agreement info, staff responsibility info and staff appraisal info).
  • A manager and designated senior staff control the Service-Related Staff Records and Additional Service Information (i.e. service general info, service planning info, reports and references).

Who is responsible for the data and its accuracy in TPRO?

All ECE services are responsible for inputting and managing their own information. (Trend Technologies does not take any responsibility for the accuracy of ECE service and staff data.)

Can staff members continue to use TPRO when they move to another ECE service?

  • Yes, if the new ECE service is using TPRO:
    - Staff continue to manage their own Professional Records
    - New Service-Related Staff Records for that staff member will be created by the new ECE service.
    Note: A staff member's previous Service-Related Staff Records remain under the control of the previous ECE service and will be archived. Also, staff can arrange temporary view access to their archived Service-Related Staff Records (e.g. for their new manager to check registration details).
  • Yes, if the new ECE service is not using TPRO:
    - staff can subscribe to TPRO as individuals so that they can maintain their Professional Records.

Can I access TPRO from home?

Yes. ECE service staff can access TPRO from home and work, enabling them to view and update their professional records at any time.

I only have a dialup modem. Can I use TPRO?

Yes. A high-speed connection to the internet is recommended, however a dialup modem can be used. Note: Factors such as the speed of your internet connection and how many others are simultaneously using the connection can have a significant effect on performance.
