Training Requests
SkillGate offers several ways Users can request training:
- via the Courses Library
- as an external courses booking subject to authorisation
- via the Results! system
- via the Perform system
- line managers can request training for their team via a 'strategic training' request.
In all cases, requests can be sent to administrators and viewed by administrators. Requests can be grouped by type, and/or faculty and reported on. Administrators can use Pinboard to suggest solutions to individual Users.
