Training groups
Training groups let you flexibly customize training based on the jobs and initial knowledge level of users. The training manager needs to consider which settings should be used to group users in order to organize the training process effectively.
The user training program is determined by the settings set for the group.
Group settings
You can configure the following settings for each training group of the main course:
- Intensity. Intensity determines how many minutes need to be spent on training to complete it by the scheduled date. The higher the intensity, the shorter the training time. Training intensity does not influence the volume of training materials.
If you set the maximum value, users will get access to the next training unit as soon as they complete the previous one. If the intensity is set to a different value, then the training units will be available based on the schedule, even if the user completed the current unit ahead of time.
- Test threshold level. The test threshold level determines what percentage of correct answers the user must provide in order to pass a test.
- Training topics and their level of difficulty. These determine how much group users need to learn. You can select the topics included in the training and set the mastery level for each topic. The higher the level, the more knowledge group users will acquire. Increasing the level also increases training time.
To determine which training topics and what level you should set, we recommend viewing the content of training materials.
The following settings are available for the express course:
- Training program. Specifies the topics included in the training program.
- Duration. Specifies the number of days a user has to complete the topics assigned to them.
When a group starts training, the platform will automatically determine the training schedule based on the group settings. However, each user in the group will also have a personal training schedule. For users who joined the group later, the personal training schedule will be determined taking this into consideration so they won't lag behind.
When a user is moved to another group, their personal schedule is updated based on the new group's training program.
Default groups
During registration, a company is created on the platform with three default groups. The table below contains group settings and recommendations for their use.
Default training group settings
| Group | Training intensity (minutes per week) | Test threshold level (%) | Training program | Intended staff |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low Risk | 20 | 80 | All topics up to Beginner level | This level is recommended for employees with limited access to corporate IT systems:
|
| Average Risk | 20 | 80 | All topics up to Elementary level | This level is recommended for specialists whose work is on the corporate network, but who don't have access to confidential information:
|
| High Risk | 20 | 80 | All topics up to Intermediate level | This level is recommended for employees who work with confidential information and personal data, as well as have administrative access to their work computers and other corporate systems:
|
You can change the settings of these groups, delete them, and also add new groups.
After group settings are set and users are added to it (manually or by automatic grouping rules), you can launch training in the group. You can stop training at any time for the entire group or individual users.
