Cademi for sport.
Onboard a seasonal, matchday workforce in hours and keep stewards, coaches and volunteers safe, safeguarded and certified — across every fixture and event.
The reality on the ground
We know what this workforce looks like.
01
A seasonal, matchday workforce
Stewards, catering and event staff scale up for fixtures and stand down in between. Onboarding and compliance have to keep pace with a casual, fast-changing roster.
02
Safeguarding under scrutiny
Academies, youth sections and community trusts put clubs in regular contact with children and vulnerable adults — safeguarding has to be current and evidenced for everyone, volunteers included.
03
Many operations, one badge
Stewarding, hospitality, retail, grounds and coaching all sit under one club — each with its own training, all reflecting on the same brand.
One board, your whole obligation
The training sport actually run on.
Accredited courses, external certificates and your own inductions on a single board — colour-coded by where each one comes from.

Where each course comes from
Three sources. One library.
Everything this sector trains on falls into three buckets — and Cademi manages all three in the same place, with the same reporting around them.
Accredited library
Ready-made, accredited courses from the 950+ library — accredited by recognised UK bodies (RoSPA, IOSH, CPD, IIRSM).
Safeguarding (children & adults)Fire safety & evacuationFood hygiene & allergensEquality, diversity & inclusionHealth & safety
External certificate
Certificates earned elsewhere — uploaded to the person record with automatic expiry tracking and renewal alerts.
Spectator safety / stewardingEmergency first aid
Course Creator
The bits unique to you — inductions, brand and programme training — built in the Course Creator at no add-on cost.
Matchday & club induction
How Cademi handles it
The same platform, pointed at your problem.
Onboard a matchday squad fast
Auto-enrolment puts induction, safeguarding and safety training in front of seasonal and casual staff before their first fixture, with reminders chasing the whole roster.
Reaches casual, deskless staff
Responsive on any device with an offline mode — stewards, catering and matchday staff train on their phones, not at a workstation.
Safeguarding evidenced for everyone
Paid staff, coaches and volunteers sit on one record, with safeguarding tracked and certificates (DBS, first aid, stewarding) stored with automatic expiry alerts.
One club, every function in view
Stewarding, hospitality, retail, grounds and academy each get role-based access and their own dashboards while reporting rolls up to the club.

Common questions
What teams in this sector ask.
Can we onboard seasonal and casual matchday staff quickly?+
Yes. New starters auto-enrol in induction, safeguarding and safety training on their start date, and reminders chase completion automatically — onboarding scales with the fixture list, not a trainer's calendar.
How are stewarding and first-aid qualifications tracked?+
Spectator-safety, first-aid and DBS records upload to the person record as external certificates; Cademi tracks expiry and alerts the right manager before they lapse.
Does it cover safeguarding for our academy and community work?+
Safeguarding for children and adults is in the accredited library and can be assigned to anyone in contact with young or vulnerable people — paid or volunteer — with completion evidenced per person.
Can volunteers and casual staff be included without a work email?+
Yes — casual staff and volunteers can be set up as learners with role-based access scoped to their role, and courses are responsive with an offline mode for staff on shared or personal devices.
Can we build our own matchday and brand induction?+
Yes. The Course Creator builds club-specific inductions and briefings from your own documents and video at no add-on cost, tracked alongside the accredited safety courses.
