Training & Certification
Training assigns your own people material to read and a test to pass, then records who did it and issues a certificate. It is built for compliance and internal certification — annual security training, a policy everyone must acknowledge, onboarding sign-off — rather than for hiring.
Training requires an Enterprise plan.
How it differs from the rest of the platform
| Assessments | Streams | Training | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who | External candidates | A cohort of students | Your own people |
| Purpose | Decide who to hire | Rank a cohort | Prove a requirement was met |
| Output | A score to interpret | A ranking | A pass and a certificate |
| Retries | One attempt by default | Per the schedule | Built in, with a waiting period |
The difference that shapes everything else: with hiring you are trying to discriminate between people, so you want a spread of scores. With training you want everyone to pass — the test exists to demonstrate the material was understood, and someone failing means they need another go, not that they are out.
That is why retries are a first-class setting rather than an exception.
Training attempts never count against your monthly test-attempt allowance. Certifying five hundred staff does not consume the budget you bought for hiring.
The pieces
Participants are the people, held in a reusable pool with their department. Someone certified annually is one participant assigned to a new task each year, not a new record each time. See Participants.
Tasks are a unit of training: documents to read, a test to pass, and a window to do it in. See Training tasks.
Certificates are issued automatically on a pass, alongside the acknowledgement trail that is the actual compliance evidence. See Certificates and evidence.
Task lifecycle
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Scheduled | Created, not yet running |
| In progress | Participants can work through it |
| Completed | Finished |
| Archived | Out of the way, still readable |
Archiving records who did it and when. Keep completed tasks rather than deleting them — the point of running training is being able to show later that it happened, and a deleted task proves nothing.
