Learn how to create internal and external induction courses. These course types are used to manually record the details of a course and choose the type of learners that can be assigned it. You need the Induction Manager user role to access these settings.
How it works
You can create either of these course types:
- Internal – An internal induction course is a course created and delivered by members of your organization, this may include but is not limited to group presentations, site walk-throughs, videos.
- External – An external induction course is a course created and delivered by a third party, this may include health and safety training, specific licenses, and more.
These course types are used to record the details of a course, choose who can take it, set a renewal date, and select if course expiry results in a learner losing access to your location. It's most likely that the content of these courses is stored outside OnLocation.
OnLocation also offers SCORM Cloud and eLearning courses. These courses are delivered to your learners online through OnLocation. You can email an invite to complete the course, or set up an induction kiosk so your learner can complete the course on-site.
