Hello friends! I have a question about annual compliance training that I’m hoping y’all can assist with. :)
My company is global with employees in ~50 countries. Currently we have two certifications built for annual compliance training (US and Global) which are assigned based on the employee’s location. The US certification links to a single US-specific course; the Global certification links to a single internationally-focused course.
Our new compliance training vendor offers location-specific courses, so employees in France can view a France-specific course, employees in India can view an India-specific course, employees in the US can view US-specific courses based on their region, etc. (and we chose this vendor specifically for this purpose).
My goals are to:
- Automatically assign the correct courses based on the employee’s location. (I don’t want to do manual assignment.)
- Have a single certification path that all employees are assigned to. (I want to avoid creating location-specific certifications if possible as I cannot maintain 50+ certifications as the sole LMS admin.)
- Configure the courses as equivalencies in the certification. (I want to make sure that regardless of which course the employee completes, their certification status is updated to Completed.)
My question is: What is the best way to build out the system to meet these goals?
I’ve considered a few options, including:
- A learning path with all the location-specific courses included that is attached to a single certification.
- This concerns me since the only way to complete the learning path is to complete all of the mandatory courses within it. I could build out the courses as equivalencies, but I don’t want it to look like an employee has completed all of the courses when they really just did one of them.
- A course with all the location-specific SCORM files added as training material that is attached to a single certification, so users choose the material that is appropriate for them.
- This concerns me because I don’t want users to get confused when selecting the training material they need to complete. I could organize the training materials into folders to make it easier, but I worry someone will choose the wrong training material.
- I also want to make sure that users aren’t required to watch all of the training materials--only the one that is relevant to them.
Sorry for the long-winded question, but I want to make sure this is set up to be easy on the employee while also lessening the administrative burden. Any advice or suggestions are welcome--thank you!
