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, checklists, assignments, pre-test and exam. If you would just like to add a record for a course taken outside of Trainingportal this can be uploaded in the system as well.
Create a new course
To create a new course navigate to the Courses tab, and select the create course option. You will then be taken through a create course wizard. You can choose to go through the steps, or click save and quit to create a course shell and then add information and content later.
Each course has a menu on the left-hand side. where you can see the information and settings for the course.

Negative triggers can be added as well to remove the course enrolment (completed courses will not be removed). Users can't be automatically assigned to classroom or blended courses. |
For e-learning courses, we recommend that you review the course before publishing to ensure course runs as expected. You can enroll yourself or a test user to the course from the Users tab.
Once you are happy with your course you can Publish it from the Details tab, and the course will then be available to book as normal.
