  • Document management and substantiation
  • Programme progress tracking and history logs
  • A mobile application for onsite photo, video, and text data capture and issue

Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their login credentials and for all activity occurring under their account. If you suspect any unauthorised use of your account or a breach of security, you must notify SINQ immediately. SINQ is not responsible for any loss or damage arising from unauthorised use of your credentials.
