Courses are the training a company provides for its employees. A company can create different training courses for different departments, for example, a company can conduct sales training for their sales staff to improve / further enhance their negotiation skills. These training courses can either be provided by the internal staff or by an external trainer.
A company may create a list of training courses for its employees. However, the concern for companies is that the information related to the course may be scattered in company emails or in invoices (cost of hiring external trainers or the cost of conducting the training internally) OrangeHRM’s ‘Add Course’ functionality helps to create a course while centralizing all the information under that specific course name.
The user can view the list of courses by selecting Training -> Courses The ‘Course List’ Screen is displayed as follows.
