Training onboarding (required training assigned automatically)

Six to ten weeks for required training. The software is ready in days; the time goes into writing down exactly who must take which course and how often, getting the job titles and hire dates the automations read into shape, and building or importing the required courses. Development courses can follow after launch.

Not with its original dates — completions are recorded when they happen in Training. Keep a full export from the old system as the record of past training, and load certifications with expiry dates into Skills & Credentials so renewals are tracked. Training then holds everything from go-live onward.

Automations. One fires on each new hire's hire date, others enroll people by job title, department, location or group, and recurring ones reassign annual refreshers. Each sets a due date, and reminders follow before and after it. Preview shows who an automation will enroll before it runs.

They need a one-time assignment of their own. A hire-date automation only reaches people hired from then on, so the existing workforce is enrolled separately, with due dates spread over several weeks so the whole company is not due on the same day.
