Submitting Third-Party Training Events for Manager Approval

The third-party training process allows organizations to track progress by a student that is taking a course outside the organization. Employees register for third-party classroom or media-based training using the same method as for any other type of course using the following procedures:

• Registering for a Media-Based Course
• Registering for a Scheduled Class

Third-party training must be submitted to a manager for approval. Siebel Training is preconfigured to invoke a manager approval process for third-party training. Your company may follow a different process according to its business requirements.

Employees can enter third-party training records into their transcripts. This capability allows managers to approve, decline, or return the training records.

This task is a step in Process of Registration, Withdrawal, and Completing Courses.
