I am trying to build a training management application that can monitor expiry dates of qualifications. I need to be able to show the awarding body of the course, the course title and the expiry of that course on an employees profile.
The issue i am having is I am struggling on how to set up the tables to accomplish this.
As there are many awarding bodies for the courses and many courses under each awarding body, would you create a table of awarding bodies as the fields and then the course names as the value? But then how do i attach an expiry date to each value under the awarding body field.
Or would i need to create a table that has all the courses as fields and then have the value as the expiry date. So for instance create a table called 'qualifications' and call the fields 'Awarding body+course name' then connect that table to the employees table.
