In parallel, many companies conduct external training of employees with the help of outside experts, specialists or organizations. These are additional online courses, professional development trainings, meetups, workshops, etc. In this case, it is important to manage all training processes in one place \u2013 both internal and external.<\/p>\n<p>A key process for external training many of our clients call accounting and processing of training requests. At its simplest, this is the process of maintaining the life cycle of such requests \u2013 submission, acceptance, approval, execution or rejection, plus reporting.<\/p>\n<p>We have added a new tool that allows you to record and manage requests for external training.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9196\" src=\"https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ua.screenshot_5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"289\" height=\"211\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After selecting an interesting online external course or training, an employee can apply in the LMS Collaborator system for a manager or portal administrator to approve their training.

For example, during induction training, it is important to understand which trainees are fully trained, who has the best result, and who can already start working.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve added a new message template for managers \u2013 &#8220;The result of the training passed by the subordinates&#8221;.
