This Certification training must be taken within 90 days and every five years thereafter with a 9 month certification window. Certification consists of one FacetoFace class.
After much experimentation, I developed the following manual procedure for assigning certifications and inputting the previous years training so that the system is caught up--the original date is shown as complete and the appropriate date is shown for renewal. It has worked reliably from 20013 up to 2010.
- Working in six month intervals backwards from the present, I enroll in certification an audience made up of the people who originally took the certification in the particular time interval.
- I run cron, and override the certification exception report.
- In the certification Course, I create a past FtoF session on the date of the original training.
- I enroll the staff who took the the class and take attendance. After CRON, the class completion is recorded normally.
I'm at 2009. Staff taking who took original training in 6 Feb 2009 should have the original certification and be due for renewal.
The Window is open for renewal, but the Renewal Status shows it isn't due?!
Therefore there is no indication on his My Learning page that the staff person needs to take the training. No Alerts. and Upcoming Certifications="No certifications due"
