Retraining

When assigning learning plans, you can specify whether training is considered "retraining" and how long the training is valid, or whether the training is considered "one time only" training.

The retraining assignment types are as follows:

Recurring, by Completion Date (RCD)

This is the most stringent assignment type. Users will be required to take the course on a recurring basis, and their next due date is calculated from their last completion date. Recurrence is based on the number of days, weeks, or years you specify. After a user completes the course, his next due date will be calculated as the last completion plus the validity period.

Recurring, by Due Date (RDD)

This allows you to specify a calendar date when the learning plan is due, regardless of past completion dates. This assignment type is also required on a recurring basis depending on the number of days, weeks, or years you specify. The next due date is calculated as the previous due date plus the validity period. You can also specify how many days prior to the recurring due date the course will become available on the user’s learning plan. To make the course available immediately, this number must be one day less than the recurrence period. For example, if you specify that the course is due 365 days from the user’s previous completions, and you want to make the course available to the user immediately, the availability value must be set to 364 days.

Course will be available for retraining X days prior to due date

For RCD and RDD retraining assignment types, you can specify when courses will be made available for retraining. This time period indicates when a course will move from the Completed Training section of a user’s Learning Plan back to the Current Training section.

One Time Only

Learning plan assignments of this type are required only once for users. One time only assignments are available for review for one year after the completion date. After that they are still available in the transcript, but not available to review
