I work for a real estate company in the phoenix area.· (i dont sell houses, i am in administration).· Our company works very hard to keep our agents informed and educated.· Every quarter we have a large training convention were everyone that is present must check in and out of the class in order to be able to get there required credits.· Also, throughout the year, we have classes around the valley that any of our agents can come to.· Again, we have to check them in and out.· I was thinking of using either magnetic strip cards or RFID cards assigned to each agent at the time of joinning.· this card could be used to track there attendance in classes.· We use a SQL database with everyones information.· This is where classes attended would go.· My thoughts are to make 4 readers (the convention hall that we use has 4 entrances and exits.· The system would need to allow all the Stamps to talk to the main computer.· Someone could come in one door and go out the other.· Distance across the hall is about 400'.· Is this even a fesable project?· i would love some input.· thanks guys.

At the possible risk of stating the obvious, the mere possession of·an RFID tag (or a mag stripe card for that matter) doesn't necessarily guarantee the presence or attendance of any given person at a <!--StartFragment -->training convention or class. If the RFID tag were read and used as a key, which key was used to access a simple name and id number data base that's local, and by that means·an Attendance Card + Name Badge was printed out, and·if that Attendance Card was signed in ink by the attendee, that ought to meet any CE or other organizational requirements·for proof of attendance. So too, a Name Badge as is often issued at such functions, would be provided quickly and without the need of a number of typists.
Using continuous printer forms, it would be simple enough to have the Attendance Card on the left, and a peel-off Name Badge on the right. The Attendance Cards and Name Badge backing are later burst apart, the Attendance Cards are·subsequently archived, and the selvage from the Name Badge is just tossed away.
Just some thoughts.

Also, does this have to stand up to a Jury as to wether they were present? IE, does the state require this convention, or is it just for company policy?

Not quite so. You only know the card or RFID card was there, not who had it. That was exactly my point earlier when I mentioned the necessity of a signature.

Sorry - as much as you might like "secret words" to work, that is no better or worse than any other scheme and will fail in the end. You NEED a biometric, and a signature is the easiest and least expensive biometric to obtain.
If you want to go to the expense and trouble of photo ID's that will work as well. The problem there is, what happens if someone forgets to bring their photo ID? Do you PREVENT them from perhaps taking a mandatory class?
