Training Manager & Training Manager Online

Managing training provision

Encouraging the continual professional development of staff is a key objective for any local authority to ensure children and their families benefit from the most effective services and support.

One Training Manager can help authorities meet this aim by providing them with a central system for managing the provision of training across the local authority, saving time for authority staff in creating and booking courses for teachers, governors, drivers, care workers and other staff. In addition, authorities can offer the facility for booking training courses online, through Training Manager Online, making it easier for staff to access training opportunities.

Quick and easy creation and booking of Courses

Courses can be quickly created by authority staff from scratch, or by revising and reusing information from existing training courses. Information on courses, candidates and schools is automatically drawn from within One so that bookings can be managed efficiently, without the need for authority staff to re-enter data. Training Manager automatically generates any letters or emails containing course literature or joining instructions and new qualifications are automatically reflected throughout the system, saving time for authority staff in managing the provision of training across the authority.

Supports improved access to support and services

Training Manager Online helps authorities meet the government’s targets on improving access to support and services by enabling candidates to book their courses through the authority’s website. Once courses have been created and published on the Web, candidates can quickly search for and book their training with ease and the details are instantly captured and stored electronically within One. Training Manager Online is Disability Discrimination Act Level AA compliant and the system also supports the use of Vantage Technology’s Sentinel, a web-based tool for managing continual professional development of staff.

Simple monitoring of finances

Training Manager enables authorities to keep track of the income and expenditure relating to the provision of training courses. Individual training establishments can set-up their own fees and charges and the powerful data analysis capability of the system helps authority staff monitor any outgoings, such as hiring premises and providing catering facilities, enabling more effective budget-planning.
