Training Courses

A course is a physical training session with a start time, end time and location. Courses are created as part of a physical module and can be a single date or a “string” of dates that make up a full course. Navigate to create a course via Training > Manage Training Plan > Create Course.

Options on a course:

• For Section - Specify the Section this course will come under.
• Start - The start date and time for this course.
• End - The expected end time for this course.
• Part of a string? - This setting allows a course to be multi-part. E.g. a course has several actual dates that all need to be attended. When signing up to a course in a string, the staff member is signed up to all parts as one session.
• Location - The location of the course. The location provides information to the staff on where the course is taking place and how to get there. See training locations.
• Allow Accommodation requests - This option allows staff to request overnight accommodation before or after the training session. This will be shown on a report to allow the accommodation to be booked.
• Number of Places - This is how many staff can sign up to this course.
• Training Coordinator - This is the person responsible for the training course. They will be asked to report on the attendees and confirm who attended and who passed/failed the course.
• Course Extra Info - This is specific information for this one course. It might be additional details or comments just for this one date.
• Lock Signup - This date is when sign up to the course is locked. After this date no further staff members can join the course and any accommodation requests are locked too. It’s designed to allow you enough time to book details, cancel under-filled courses and generally be prepared for the course.
• Cost - This is an optional value that is used to report on training costs per venue over a time period. It can be used for internal billing if training is shared. Accommodation costs are also included.
• Feedback Form - This feature requests feedback after a course takes place. It can contain any number of questions and the results can be named or anonymous. See Feedback Forms.
