Help · Ready for each role

Training

Role-based training for people with more than one job: what each role needs, sessions that never overbook, attendance paid at the right role's rate, and readiness for each role on its own.

Questions and answers

Am I paid for the time I spend training?

Training time is paid when a training administrator approves your attendance: Payroll then pays it at the rate of the role it was for. Booking a place, or completing a course, is never paid time on its own.

Why can't I ask for a place on that session?

Booking for it may have closed, your role may not be active on its date, or HR may show you are away at that time. Your account must also be linked to your record in HR. Choose another session, or ask HR.

Can I upload a certificate?

No. Training keeps the details only: the kind, a reference such as the certificate number, and when it was completed. A training administrator checks them. See Record learning done elsewhere.

The session I want is full. Is there a waiting list?

A place request for a full session cannot be booked: ask for another session. A learning request that is approved joins the waiting list of the earliest full session, and is booked when a place comes free. See Ask for learning.

Can I do e-learning here, or book a recurring session?

Not yet. Training has no e-learning content, recurring sessions, course feedback or certificate files. Courses are taught in sessions here, or done elsewhere and recorded as evidence.

Is the data in the sandbox real?

No. The sandbox's people, courses, sessions and credentials are fictional, and they are reset every night. Try anything you like.
