Overview: As a training manager, understanding how to integrate external training into Flow Learning is essential for creating comprehensive and diverse learning programmes.
What is External Training?
External Training in Flow Learning is a feature that allows you to record and manage training sessions conducted outside the Flow Learning environment. This can include online courses, face-to-face training, workshops, and other learning activities provided by external organisations. By integrating these sessions into Flow Learning, you can maintain a complete record of all training activities, apply the same refresher rules as internal training, and track learner progress across all training formats.
Key Features and Benefits of External Training
- Comprehensive Record-Keeping: External training functionality allows you to maintain records of all training activities, including those conducted outside the Flow Learning platform. This ensures that all learner progress is tracked and documented in one place.
- Integration with Training Structures: External training can be integrated into training structures, allowing you to include these sessions as part of a learner’s broader training journey. This seamless integration helps create a unified learning experience.
- Customisation and Flexibility: You can customise external training records with details such as training type, provider, and instructions, ensuring that each training session is well-documented and easy to manage.
- Bulk Uploads and Archiving: The ability to upload historical external training records in bulk makes it easy to transition from other systems and keep your records up to date. Additionally, you can archive external training that is no longer needed, keeping your training catalogue relevant and organised.
- Scheduling and Management: External training can be scheduled using the Training Calendar within Flow Learning, allowing you to manage and track upcoming sessions, send reminders, and monitor attendance.
Why Use External Training?
Incorporating external training into your Flow Learning programmes provides a more comprehensive approach to employee development. By integrating third-party training resources, you can offer a wider range of learning opportunities, ensuring that all training—whether internal or external—is accounted for and accessible within the same platform. This holistic approach to training management supports continuous learning and development across your organisation.
