I know this is an old thread (5yrs) but we have much the same use case.

Totara is our system of record for training records, and where we provide some e-learning courses and certification.

Because it is our "system of record" we need to load information from other sources.

An external training provider delivers information about our staff's course completions each week. e.g. Fire extinguisher training (across 40 locations, 650 staff) every year. Courses are happening every week.

We have 10s of these types of courses. As you can see this becomes an overhead that could be automated. Just like we automate the loading of new staff details every night.

Use case:

As a Totara admin for a corporate organisation, much of time time each week is spent uploading course AND certificate completions. I could use this time to improve existing courses and help learners get better outcomes.
