Add new training course schedules

To add new training course schedules, you need to:

  • add information on the Training Schedule Details screen

  • check the information that the system automatically adds to the other tabs, and change it if necessary.

  1. Go to Training then select Schedule from the Schedules section.

  2. At the end of the schedules list, select Add New Course Schedule.

  1. Complete the Schedule Details tab, using the table below as a guide. Fields marked with a red asterisk * are mandatory.

    Field

    How to complete

    Schedule Ref

    The system automatically generates a unique reference, which cannot be re-used.

    Course*

    From the drop-down menu, select the course you want to schedule. The options available for selection are all courses marked as In Use.

    Provider*

    When you select a course in the Course field, the system automatically adds any attached provider to the drop-down menu in this field. If no providers are recorded for the course, you will see a warning message, and you will need to add at least one provider to the course details.

    Location

    From the drop-down menu, select the course location. The options available for selection depend on the selected provider. This field is not mandatory, but if you leave it blank, then any workflow emails that use this field will also be blank.

    Trainer

    From the drop-down menu, select the name of the trainer who will deliver the course. The options available for selection depend on the selected provider. This field is not mandatory, but if you leave it blank, then any workflow emails that use this field will also be blank.

    Course Start Date*

    Type or select the start date of the course. The date can be past or future.

    Course End Date*

    The system automatically adds the end date of the course in this field, based on the duration in the course details, but you can amend this if required

    Type or select the course start time in hours and minutes. If required, you can change this time on the Schedule Dates tab
