What is a training programme?
A training programme is a feature that, upon obtaining one or more certificates, automatically assigns one or more other certificates to the same user.
For example:
After obtaining certificate X, certificate Y is automatically assigned
After obtaining certificates X and Y, certificate Z is automatically assigned
After obtaining certificate X, certificates Y and Z are automatically assigned
A training programme is entirely based on certificates and differs from a learning pathway, which is entirely based on trainings.
You manage training programmes via Planning > Certificates > Learning programs. If you do not yet see this menu option, the corresponding right must first be enabled in the administrator authorisation group you are in. The right is called 'Planning_beheer_Leerprogramma'.
To create a new training programme, click the 'New Learning Program' button. Then give the programme a logical name and a code. Do not tick the 'Active' checkbox yet! Next, search under 'Certificate to assign' for the certificate(s) that should be assigned once the 'conditions' defined under 'Components' are met. You add the certificates by clicking the '+' button.
Follow the same steps under 'Components'. Here you define which certificate(s) must be obtained first before the 'Certificate to assign' is assigned. Here too, you select the certificates by clicking the '+' button. Do not forget to save.
Keep the following points in mind when creating and/or managing a training programme:
Only activate the training programme once you are certain it is correctly configured. As soon as the training programme is active, a script will immediately run that checks whether users meet the set conditions. If this is the case at that moment, the 'certificate(s) to assign' will also actually be assigned.
When the validity of the 'Certificate to assign' should expire at the moment one of the 'Components' expires, 'Individual expiry date possible' must be enabled in the certificate definition(s) of all involved certificates.
How to modify an existing training programme depends on several factors. To be safe, contact the Customer Success team before making changes to an existing training programme yourself.
An exemption is not considered an obtained certificate as a component of a training programme.
