Learning Plans

Hi everyone,

Currently looking specifically at Learning Plans as a way of assigning some learning, objectives and competencies to large amount of managers in the Trust. The learning plan has been created and has been assigned to a specific audience, with the options selected but when adding the colleagues via the audience its adding the plan, but not the specific courses and competences etc as per the original.

I have looked on Totara webpage and the training, and from what I understand you add training etc to each plan individually, but not sure if there is a way around this or I have missed something obvious or totally misunderstood! Any pointers on learning plans and using them for a large group of colleagues would be very much appreciated. Thank you

We are version 18.25.

Many thanks, Claire

Hi Claire,

I'm not sure I'd necessarily want to use Learning Plans for this type of scenario.

I'd probably use a combination of Courses, Programs and Competencies/Skills (In Totara 20> Competencies are now Skills)

Programs allow you to group courses into an ordered program of learning.

Programs are easily managed and have lots of different reporting options, so you can be confident that managers in the organisation have all got access and completed learning.

Skills can be linked to courses (as an achievement path to gain the skill).

There are some excellent Totara Academy courses to help you learn about managing programs.

Others may have different ideas, but unless there was a specific reason for choosing a Learning Plan I would probably keep it simple and use Programs.

Let me know how you get on 🙂

Cheers
