How To

Team Members and Team Leaders have a ‘Personal Development’ tab. Here, they can see their assigned learning, check the progress of their recommended/mandatory training, and review any outstanding or previous review processes.

Any employee who has access to the CPD portal has the ability to assign learning to themselves. This allows for others to see any progress you have made individually and for you to keep track of any personal learning you have done. In order to do either, you need to first be on your Personal Development page.

How to assign Personal Learning

From the Personal Development page, you have the option to assign personal learning to yourself from the courses and training paths available on the platform. The first step is to click on the burger menu and select Assign Learning.

This opens the Assign Self Learning window. This window displays a list of courses that can be assigned to your personal learning queue. You can filter the results shown by clicking on the Filter results element, which gives you different attributes to filter the courses by. To select a course, just click on the icon and it will have a green tick to show it is currently selected.

Clicking on the Training Paths button will display a list of published training paths to select from. Click on the checkbox next to the path you wish to add to select it.

Once you are finished with your selections, you can press the “Add Learning” button at the bottom of either view to add the items to your Personal learning queue.

As these are personal learning goals, they cannot be assigned mandatory or recommended status and no due date can be assigned to them.

The Training Paths and courses you have added can be seen in your Assigned Learning list on the Personal Development page, or in the Personal Learning Queue in the Training Portal.

How to record a Personal Learning Experience

The platform also allows you to record any personal learning you have done with external sources. From the Personal Development Page, you need to press the ellipses “…” button next to the Assigned Learning header and select the Record Experience option.

This will bring up the Add Personal Experience form where you are able to fill in details about your personal experience. The fields are:

  • Category: Select the most suitable category from a list of categories provided. A required field.

  • Language: The language the material was conducted in. A required field.

  • URL: Provide a link to the material covered if possible.

  • Name: Add a title to your record of personal experience. A required field.

  • Description: Add a more detailed description of what was covered in your personal experience record.

  • Thumbnail: Attach an image to your record.

  • Tags: Add tags to the record related to the category you have selected for the record.

When you are ready to submit the record, scroll to the bottom of the window and press the “Save Experience” button. This will add your record to your assigned learning list.

The record can also be seen if you go to the Training Portal and go to your Personal learning queue. The record can be further edited from here by pressing on the green man button, which will bring up the Edit Personal Experience window again to update the record. Any personal learning can also be removed using the red “bin” button.
