Initial Training

There are two ways a user can receive Initial Training. The most common way is when the user receives the course assignment for the first time. This can occur either when a user is added or when a user is placed into a Demographic Group having the course assignment. In either case, the user has never had this course assigned during his history.

The second way a user can receive Initial Training is when the course is assigned to the user following a previous assignment of the same course, but the previous assignment has been removed or no longer exists. In this case, a user may have had a previous completion, but that completion is no longer valid.

Examples

  1. New Assignment: John Doe is added on 1/1/2013 after being hired. All courses assigned to John Doe are Initial Training.
  2. Re-assignment: Jane Doe was a supervisor in 2010, and completed Behavior-based Safety for Supervisors.

    In 2011, Jane changed job functions, and Behavior-based Safety for Supervisors was no longer required for her. As a result, her previous course completion was classified as history.

    In 2013, Jane once again moved into a supervisory role, and Behavior-based Safety for Supervisors was again required for her job function. The new course assignment is required annually, so her 2010 completion is not valid. As a result, her 2013 assignment will be assigned as Initial Training.
