# How to Create Training

**How to Create Training**

The Training module (found under the **Learning** dropdown) allows administrators and officers to build, assign, and manage training programs for their organization.

#### Creating a Training

Navigate to **Learning \> Training** and select **Create New Training**. 

#### Step 1: **Select Courses and Cadence**

**Cadence** controls how learners progress through courses:

- **Sequential** – Each course must be completed before the next one unlocks. Use the left-hand dropdowns to set the preferred course order.
- **Unordered** – All courses are available immediately upon enrollment.

Use **Browse Course Library** to find and add courses. Multiple courses can be added to a single Training.

        **Important:** Courses cannot be added, removed, or changed after a Training has been                   created. Preview all courses before finalizing.

#### Step 2: Name, Description, and Instructor

- **Name** – Defaults to the first course name if not changed (e.g., "Onboarding," "Annual HR Training").
- **Description** – Optional summary of the training's purpose or contents.
- **Instructor** – Any active team member responsible for monitoring completion.

#### Step 3: Enrollment Criteria

Assign the training by **Employee**, **Location**, or **Group**. Multiple criteria can be combined. For example, a specific group, a location, and an individual all at once.

Selecting **All Employees** cannot be combined with any other criteria.

#### Step 4: Settings

**Start Date** – The date the training becomes active and is assigned to employees.

**Training Duration** – Choose one of two options:

| Option | How It Works | Extra Options |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Completion Period** | Deadline is relative to each learner's enrollment date | Repeat: Quarterly, Semi-Annually, Annually, Bi-Annually |
| **Due Date** | Fixed end date applies to all learners | Grace Period: None, 14 Days, 30 Days, 60 Days, or Indefinite |

**Auto-Enrollment** – Once enabled this automatically enrolls new employees added after launch who match the enrollment criteria.

#### Step 5: Review and Create

Review all settings before selecting **Create Training**. Duration and repeat settings can be edited after creation, but courses cannot be.

#### Managing an Existing Training

Each Training appears as a tile showing the number of courses, status, enrollment stats, and settings. Select **View** for details.

Click the **ellipsis (⋯)** on any tile to access management options:

- Edit name or description
- Add enrollment criteria
- Duplicate the training
- End Training
- End & Archive the training
  
  **Important:** Ended/closed trainings can be reopened using the ellipsis on the upper right hand side of the training tile. End & Archived trainings cannot be restored or re-enabled. The action is permanent.
