Take a classroom course

If your organization offers classroom courses, there are two ways you can view and register for upcoming classroom courses.

Register through the Instructor Training Tab on your Training Plan

Any classroom-based courses that your organization offers will be listed under the Instructor Training Tab on the Training Plan box on your TLC dashboard. This tab will also list classroom courses you’re already registered for. 

To register for a classroom course through the Instructor Training tab, do the following:

  1. Select the Instructor Training tab, then click the name of the course you’re interested in.
  2. When course description appears, click the Classroom icon. If the icon contains a padlock, it means that you must request permission from your manager to take the course.
  3. Click the icon, then do one of the following:
    If the icon contains a padlock, select a session (date), then click Request. Once your manager has approved your request, the status of the course on the Classroom tab (and on the Calendar) will be changed to ‘Registered’.

    If the icon doesn’t contain a padlock, select a session (date), then click Register. The status of the course on the Classroom tab (and on the Calendar) will be immediately changed to ‘Registered’ .

Register through the Calendar

You can also use TLC’s calendar to view and register for classroom courses.  The view can be changed from calendar to a list view as well. The list is also filterable to display just a single course.  

Note that the calendar displays all past and future classroom courses, while only future courses are displayed in list view.

To view the monthly training calendar, do the following:

  1. Select Calendar from the user menu User Menu. The training events calendar for the current month appears.

    If necessary, select a different month or year.

    To view the calendar as a list, select the Calendar view dropdown and click List view. This can be found in the upper left hand corner of the screen. To only view the dates for a particular course, select List view, then select the course name in the drop-down box in the upper left.

  2. Once you’ve located the course you want to register for, click the course name to open the detail screen.
  3. If the course has been set up so that you must request approval from you manager, click Request. Once your manager has approved your request, the status of the course on the Calendar (and on the Instructor Training tab) will be changed to ‘Registered’.

    If the course doesn’t require approval from your manager, click Register. The status of the course on the calendar and on the Instructor Training tab will be immediately changed to ‘Registered’ .

If you subsequently find that you can’t attend the course, follow the instructions to withdraw (unregister).
