About the Butler Training Portal
The Butler Training Portal has been developed as another avenue of support for our customers. It includes a range of training opportunities such as:
- Tutorials, these are short 5-15 minute video tutorials that cover key topics or questions to support you in using your Diaries and Butler Resources.
-
Guides, these are 10-60 minute guides that focus on a particular Diary or resource and provide support on how to use the different features included.
- Professional Development, these are longer 30-90 in-depth professional developments that focus on core principles in ECEC in the context of your Diary or Resource.
The Butler Training Portal is an ongoing tool that will continue to feature new trainings. You can see what is available and coming soon inside the portal or in our online store. If you have any feedback on what you’d like to see next, email us at training@butlerdiaries.com.
How the Butler Training Portal Works

Training Portal Login
You can return to the Butler Training Portal by selecting ‘Training Portal’ in our website menu and logging in with the email you used to order and the password you created.
Your Training
Inside the portal, you will see all the available Butler tutorials, guides, and professional development. Any free training or training that you have purchased will be accessible inside the portal. Click on the training to enter.
On the left-hand side, you will see the modules or steps in the course and on the right-hand side any downloadable resources. You can progress through by reading and watching each module or step and selecting ‘complete and continue’ to move to the next. The courses will often include links to further support resources that relate to the topic and reflection questions or activities.
