What is group training?
Training in SafetyCulture is a great way to deliver workplace training in bite-sized chunks that can be accessed on any device. However, we understand that training for certain training topics may be best provided in group settings, so activities and discussions can be facilitated. Group training allows you to present any course in a slideshow style and capture your team's attendance so that their learning is recorded.
"Training: Manage content (all)" permission is required to edit and enable group training for a course.
