You can create your own courses on Trainingportal. Courses can consist of e-learning content such as SCORM files, converted PPTs or videos, as well as other activities such as classroom sessions, pre-test, exam, checklist or assignments. If you would just like to add a record for a course taken outside of Trainingportal this can be added in the system as well.
