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.

Training Portal Login

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.
