TRAIN UPDATE Course Provider Segment 

David Knapp and Tracey Sparks of Kentucky TRAIN discuss Learner Course Registration and Course Search.  In the Course Provider segment they introduce the Course Edit Wizard. 

To search for a course, you do not actually need to be logged in to your TRAIN account. However, we recommend that you do first login as login will be required to complete any Course Registration. More so, the search process has several search criteria for you to choose from. This means that you can search by different items such as, intended audience, by the course format, by the date the course was released. If you don’t find what you’re looking with one type of criteria search, feel free to try the others!

TRAIN also allows users to save their search criteria. This is useful if you will be searching for the same type of course multiple times. With saved search criteria, you don’t need to re-pick your search parameters; simply rerun your saved search. Saved searches can also be set to send you an email notification when new courses are added to TRAIN that meet your saved criteria. This is particularly useful if you want to be notified when new courses on a particular subject are released. Turning on saved search notifications can save you the hassle of rerunning searches.

Course Providers access the Course Edit Wizard through the administration link found at the top of their TRAIN web page.  The Course Wizard will guide you step-by-step through the process of setting up your course.  One of the first things that a Course Provider will have to enter is the Course Title and there is a specific format that should be followed.  The Title of the course is entered, (space) the Modality, unless face-to-face is entered, this could be module or videoconference, (space) the Course ID (space) Date (space) and Location.  Your final title would look like this,  HANDS Family Support Worker Core Supervisor Training 1048769 March 14, 2014 Bowling Green.
