Add Training Equivalents

You can set up learning objects to be equivalent to other learning objects in the system.  

The Training Equivalence should be set on the learning object that is to be marked complete if a learner completes the equivalent training. For example, if Learning Object A should be marked complete when a learner complete Learning Object B, then the Training Equivalence should be set on Learning Object A.

  1. Access the Course Catalog.

  2. Search for the learning object on which you would like to set an equivalency.

    Helpful Note:

    For example, if the learner completes Learning Object A, Learning Object B will be considered complete, and if the learner completes Learning Object B, Learning Object B will be considered complete.

  8. Check the Apply Retroactively box next to any training equivalents that should be retroactively applied to learners' transcripts, if required.

    Helpful Note:

    If the Apply Retroactively option is selected and the Save button is clicked, you will receive a pop-up which indicates the estimated number of impacted learner transcript records. Note that the estimated number of impacted transcripts includes all learners who currently have both training items within the equivalency pair on their transcript, regardless of whether the learner’s status will be updated as a result of applying the equivalency retroactively.

     

    Click the Continue button to apply the equivalency retroactively to learner’s transcripts.
