The Natural HR Training module allows you how to create a library of training courses, which can either be assigned to an employee by their manager, or the employee user can submit a request to attend a training course via their self-service.

Employee users must first be given permission to access the training courses by going to

Administration > Company > Settings > Company settings

In the 'Training' section, you can choose

Yes - library courses only - employee users can select any course that has been added to the course library.

Yes - library and adhoc requests - employee users can select any course that has been added to the course library or add details for a course that does not appear in the course library.

For an employee user to view and request training courses, they need to go to

Self-service > My development > My training

Listed here will be any training this employee user has already requested or been assigned by their manager.

To view the course library the employee user clicks on the 'Course library' button at the bottom of the screen

The employee user can submit a request to attend a training course or view the information relating to the course by clicking Actions

The employee user can also request training by clicking on the 'Request training' button

The employee user can select a course from the 'Course library' dropdown, this will pre-populate all the fields from the course library details, or, if the 'Yes - library and adhoc requests' option was selected, the employee user can choose not to select a library course but can add details of a completely new one-off or adhoc training course.

Restricting course library access

Training library courses are created by going to

Training > Course library

then clicking on the 'Add' button. After entering as much detail as required to describe the course, at the bottom of the screen there is a 'Restrict access (applies in self-service only)' check box option

After selecting this option, you can add one or more, departments, job roles, sites and/or companies. In this example, only Skilled labourers who work in the Projects department will be able to see and request this course via their self-service.

Please note: These restrictions apply in self-service only, and not when admin, HR or managers assign training courses for employees.
