Roles: Training Managers, Training Administrators, Training Advisers (excluding validating the module).
Process overview: This process will allow users with the correct access rights to search for multiple members and update training modules for all those selected at the same time. It allows you to update modules that are part of an existing Personal Learning Plan (PLP) for a role the members hold. It also allows the user to assign a Training Adviser to the learner for the module being updated, although this is not mandatory to complete the process.
This process allows you to update the details of the learning or validation for a module, including:
- Whether it was agreed that the learning was required, and if so what learning has been completed and when.
- The agreed validation criteria and method for completion.
- The date of validation and who it was validated by.
Please note: This process allows you to update multiple members’ training records at the same time, making it easier to do tasks such as update the learning completed for all participants of the same course.
