Training

Trainings in ZeeBORN are organised on three levels — understanding this makes everything else on this page obvious:

Level Meaning Where it is maintained
Training type The catalogue: what kind of training exists (e.g. "Fire Fighting Basic"), whether a result is required and which certificate it leads to. Configuration, or Manage Trainings > Manage Training Types
Training A concrete course: a training of one type with a start and end date and a training number. Manage Trainings
Attendance Which crew member took part in which training. On the crew member, tab Training

Creating a course

Open the Crewing module, ribbon tab Training, and click Manage Trainings. New opens the course dialog: pick the Training Type (it prefills name, number, certificate and the "Result required" setting), adjust the Training name and Training Number, and set Start and End. The type of an existing course cannot be changed afterwards.

The course list shows status, training, type, dates and number; Show All also lists closed and rejected courses. Documents can be attached to a course (Documents > Attach).

Recording attendance

There are two ways, and they end up in the same place:

  • From the course: Manage Trainings > More Actions > Assign Crewmember — pick one person or select from the complete crew list (multi-select is supported). Duplicate assignments are caught.

  • From the crew member: select the person, ribbon tab Training, New — choose the training (Choose), optionally the ship (Site), a remark and attachments.

Individual trainings: New individual training records a training that did not take place as an organised course — it references the training type directly and has its own start and end date. Use it for externally attended courses.

Attendance entries are edited and deleted via Details > Edit / Delete; every entry keeps its history (Show History).

Closing a course — and where the expiry lives

A training itself has no expiry date and no renewal interval. Its lifecycle is a simple status: Open, Closed or Rejected (rejected courses are shown struck through, closed ones in red italics).

The due-date logic lives in the certificates: when a course is closed (Show Member List > Close Training, and a certificate/skill is linked to the training), ZeeBORN creates a crew certificate for every participant — the closing dialog asks for issue date, place, country and expiry date, and results (percentage, note, certificate number) can be recorded per participant. An older certificate of the same kind is set inactive. From then on the monitoring happens on the Certificates page — with its pre-warning traffic lights — not in the training area.

Reject Training requires a reason and removes the course's assignments.

Rights

The Training tab and its functions are permission-controlled — typical setups give the crewing department the training rights and restrict Manage Trainings, Close Training and Manage Training Types to fewer users. If one of the buttons described here is missing, the right is the first thing to check.
