This module was written to extend the functionality of events to support trainings and allow you to manage training actions, training groups, training hour types, training materials, etc.
To use this module, you need to:
- Have Training / User or Training / Manager permissions.
- Go to the new menu item called Training.
There you can find the following menus, depending on your permissions:
Training actions define the structure of a course.
They have a name, such as Prevention of occupational hazards, Office software, Odoo user basic training, etc.
They are classified with action types. Depending on it, they define how many hours of each type are expected to be teached.
You can define the training materials that should be delivered to students to accomplish the action.
You can specify the grade settings: which is the minimal and maximum grade possible for this course, and which grade students need to reach to pass the course.
Also you can define the contents of this course. They will appear in the back side of the diploma if available. You have a field called Append template that will help you to fulfill the contents in some complex layouts.
Depending on the type of hours that a training action is expected to have, the training action has that action type. For instance:
- A training of type on-site may expect only on-site hours.
- A training of type online may expect only online hours.
- A training of type remote may expect only remote hours.
- A training of type mixed may expect on-site, online and remote hours.
You can define action types and the expected type of hours in this menu.
Hours in each training action are separated by type. Types of hours can be On site, Online, Remote and anything you decide.
For instance, a training action of online type cannot have on-site hours.
A material is a resource used for training. These resources are expected to be delivered to every student when starting the training process.
Example materials are: study book, notebook, pen, etc.
Materials are not always physical. For example, for online courses a material could be a username and password for your training website.
In this menu you can set up all the types of your materials.
A training group is a course that belongs to a training action. Most of the time you will likely use this menu.
They have all details about it: students, start and end dates, materials delivered, etc.
Technically speaking, groups are just events that are assigned to a training action. Therefore, you can use also the events view to manage training groups, but the Training menu is a more consistant place to manage training groups, and when using that view you will be required to set a training action.
These are similar to event registrations too, but with some additions:
- Set a grade for the student and see if it is passing the course automatically (it compares with the passing grade in the training action).
- Quick access to the training action.
- Check if materials were deliverede to the registrant.
There are also these reports here:
Diploma / Certificate. If the attendee has completed and passed the course, it will print a diploma. Otherwise, it will print a certificate of assistance.
Diploma / Certificate Delivery Receipt, to proof the diploma or certificate was delivered to the attendee.
Training Materials Delivery Receipt, to proof the materials were delivered to the attendee.
You might want to check the box Materials delivered in the registration form when any attendee signs this report.
If you access a partner view from any module, you will be able to print a new report called Training Attendance Certificate. It will display the status of all registrations made in the name of this partner (and/or its contacts if it is a company).
