Enrolling Guards

  1. Open a training module (click View Details).
  2. Go to the enrollment section.
  3. Add guards individually or in bulk:
    • Individual — Search and select guards.
    • By Team — Enroll entire teams.
    • All Guards — Enroll every active guard.
  4. Enrolled guards will see the training in their mobile app.

Tracking Progress

  1. Open a training module.
  2. View the enrollment list:
    • Guard name.
    • Enrollment date.
    • Completion status (Not Started, In Progress, Completed).
    • Completion date (if finished).
    • Score (if applicable).

Managing Certifications

When a guard completes a training module:

  1. A certification record is created automatically.
  2. View certifications in the guard's profile under Documents.
  3. Set certification expiry dates to trigger renewal reminders.

Certification Tracking

  • Navigate to Compliance > Compliance for a dashboard view.
  • See:
    • Guards with active compliance.
    • Non-compliant guards.
    • Upcoming expirations.
    • Critical issues.

Training & Compliance Reports

  1. Go to the Compliance dashboard.
  2. View charts:
    • Compliance trend over time (line chart).
    • Status breakdown (area chart).
  3. Export reports:
    • PDF Audit Reports — For regulatory submissions.
    • CSV — For spreadsheet analysis.
    • Training Certificates — Individual PDF certificates.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Mark critical trainings as Required — Guards will be flagged as non-compliant until completed.
  • Set realistic durations — Helps guards plan their time.
  • Track expiry dates — Many certifications (First Aid, CPR, Security License) need annual renewal.
  • Review completion rates monthly — Low completion may indicate scheduling issues or training quality problems.

Troubleshooting

Training module not appearing for guards

  • Verify the guard is enrolled in the module.
  • Check that the module is in Active status.
  • Ask the guard to refresh their mobile app.

Can't access Training

  • Requires the `training_module` subscription feature.
  • Requires the `training.view` permission.

Completion rate seems wrong

  • Rate is calculated as: completed guards / enrolled guards.
  • Newly enrolled guards lower the percentage until they complete the training.
