What you will learn

By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to:
  1. Navigate the training module
  2. Assign training to crew members
  3. Understand how adaptive sessions work
  4. Review training records and compliance status

Step 1: Open the Training Module

​
Step 2: Review Available Courses

​
Step 3: Assign Training

​
Step 4: Understand Adaptive Sessions

When a crew member starts a training session, the system selects items based on their current proficiency:
  • New learners start with foundational items and progress to more challenging material as they demonstrate understanding.
  • Experienced learners are presented with items calibrated to their skill level, skipping material they have already mastered.
  • Review items are scheduled using spaced repetition — the system brings back previously learned items at optimal intervals to reinforce retention.
Each session provides immediate feedback on responses, helping learners understand correct answers and the reasoning behind them.
Training sessions are designed to be short and focused. Crew members can complete a session in 10 — 15 minutes, making it practical to fit training into operational schedules.

Step 5: Review Training Records
