Hi Martin,

The Learning Plan could work for this. Add the learner into a learning plan with a Manager driven workflow, or a customised worklfow restricting the learner from adding items. Then if courses are added a notification will go to their manager for approval.

Use the Learning Plan enrolment method in these courses.

I have also come across this request from a customer. 

The Learner can request enrolment to a course->The linked manager will receive a approval request-> The learner's linked manager will approve/decline the request->The manager will receive a notification or outcome->If approved, the learner can then continue with the course.

The suggested plugin alerts the system admin of the request and not the linked learner's manager.  The system admin also does the approval.

The Learning Plan option seems like a good idea.  However it requires the learner to create a learning plan and enter some dates, add courses/competencies/objectives/programs.  I am concerned that the maintenance part of the Learning plan might cause issues and data maintenance. I suppose that with some training/guides the learners can be shown how to use the facility. 

A straight Request and approval option would however still be preferred.  This functionality is available in our customer's previous system (SumTotal) and they expect the same functionality. 

It would be appreciated if there is a plugin already developed that could be shared and enable the functionality.
