Training and records
How do employees know what to do?
When staff sign in, their dashboard shows assigned courses, progress, what is ready for the exam and anything due for renewal, with a suggested next step. The rule is simple: if it is on their agenda, they need to complete it.
How do certificates and renewals work?
A certificate is ready as soon as a learner passes, and stays on their transcript to view or print. When training needs renewing, the course comes back onto the learner's agenda, and if reminders are on, they are emailed before it expires.
What happens if someone fails an exam?
In the standard setup, they review the answers and get a second try. A second miss resets the course so they go through the material again.
What are bulletins?
Bulletins are documents or notices that appear in front of employees as soon as they sign in. They must tick a box confirming they have read and understood the material, which only becomes available once they have scrolled through it. Some bulletins end with a few quiz questions instead.
What reports can we run?
Reports on courses, communications, events and pathways, filtered by completion status, supervisor, course, group, completion date, expiry date, user status and last sign-in. Reports can be saved and subscribed to, and employee lists exported to Excel. Records and reporting.
Can supervisors see their own staff?
Yes. Supervisors can see the training files of the people who report to them.
Can we track classroom training too?
Yes. Events cover classroom training, meetings and web conferencing, and they appear on each person's transcript alongside online courses.
