How To Retrain Learners
We have built a convenient Retraining function into your Dashboard that will allow you to Retrain your Learners in just a few simple steps.
By using the Retraining List, you will be able to:
- See which Learners are due for Retraining based on previous course assignments
- Confirm their current Group and Retraining Course assignment
- Assign their new course, archive their previous course, and send Notifications
Please make sure to check the Prerequisites section below before beginning to ensure your account is ready to use the Retraining function.
Go to your Dashboard Tab and go to the "Retraining List" 
The filters at the the top of the Retraining List let you filter by Group, Location, and the date by which you Learners are due to be retrained.
The list below will display Learners that the system has identified as due for Retraining, as well as their previous course assignments, the current Group the Learner is in, and the associated course that will be assigned for Retraining:

Approving, Notifying and Re-Notifying Learners
Prerequisites
- Groups:
- Courses assigned for retraining will be determined by the Group the Learner is in.
- Make sure all Groups are up to date. For example, if a Learner has been promoted between the 1st and 2nd rounds of training, you will need to update the Learner's Group assignment from "Employee" to "Manager"
- Groups must have the correct course/s assigned.
- Make sure Group Due Dates are NOT assigned via Calendar date selection (if you need assistance, contact Kantola Support to update this setting)
- Licenses: You must have enough Licenses available to reassign training to the selected users. Licenses can be reviewed and purchased via the Licenses tab of your Admin account.
