Training Courses and Training Schedules - Part 1 - Introduction

Training Courses and Training Schedules

Introduction

This area of iPassport allows a user to create training courses, select trainers and choose a location for the training. Training courses can then be scheduled as ‘New Training Events’ and attendees can be invited to attend. Courses that are held periodically can be reused to create new training events when required.

Attendees who confirm having participated in a training event will have a personal record to their credit in the Training tab of their Staff Profile.

The Training tab has two views: Completed, which is shown by default, and Scheduled, which lists training events the staff member is booked on that have not yet been completed. Either list can be exported to a CSV file.

Training Courses and Training Schedule are located under the Competency menu.

Each menu item is only shown to users with the relevant permission: Desktop:Show Training Courses Menu Item for Training Courses and Desktop:Show Training Schedule Menu Item for Training Schedule. Administrators can see both menu items without these permissions. The training module is only available where the staff module is enabled for your account.

Menu names can be customised for each organisational unit, so on some sites these menu items, or the Competency menu itself, may appear under a different name.
