# Getting Started with Training

> Set up your training program, assign courses to crew members, and run your first adaptive training session.

This tutorial walks you through setting up PlaneConnection's training module -- from creating your first course assignments to running an adaptive training session and reviewing results.

<Info>
  **Who should read this:** Safety managers, training administrators,
  and anyone responsible for SMS training compliance under
  14 CFR 5.91.

  **Time to complete:** About 15 minutes.

  **Prerequisites:** Admin or Safety Manager role in your workspace.
</Info>

## 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

<Steps>
  ### Navigate to Training

  From the Safety module sidebar, click **Training**. The training
  index page shows an overview of your organization's training status,
  including compliance rates, upcoming due dates, and recent
  completions.

  ### Explore the sub-pages

  The training module has four main sections:

  | Section        | Purpose                                              |
  | -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
  | **Overview**   | At-a-glance training status and compliance metrics.  |
  | **Courses**    | Browse and manage the training course library.       |
  | **Records**    | View individual and organizational training records. |
  | **Compliance** | Monitor training currency and identify gaps.         |
  | **Assign**     | Assign training to individuals or groups.            |
</Steps>

***

## Step 2: Review Available Courses

<Steps>
  ### Open the Courses page

  Click **Courses** in the training navigation. The course library
  contains training content organized by domain -- Safety Policy,
  Hazard Identification, Safety Risk Management, Safety Assurance,
  and Emergency Response.

  ### Browse by domain

  Each domain contains training items covering specific competencies.
  Items range in difficulty and are tagged with the SMS requirement
  they address (e.g., 14 CFR 5.53 for hazard identification).
</Steps>

***

## Step 3: Assign Training

<Steps>
  ### Open the Assign page

  Click **Assign** in the training navigation. Select the crew members
  or groups you want to assign training to.

  ### Select courses and set due dates

  Choose which training domains or specific courses to assign. Set a
  due date for completion. Assigned crew members will see the training
  in their personal dashboard.

  ### Confirm the assignment

  Review the assignment details and confirm. The system sends
  notifications to assigned crew members.
</Steps>

***

## 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.

<Tip>
  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.
</Tip>

***

## Step 5: Review Training Records

<Steps>
  ### Check individual records

  Navigate to **Records** to view training completion data by
  individual. Each crew member's record shows completed sessions,
  scores, and compliance status.

  ### Monitor compliance

  The **Compliance** page provides an organizational view of training
  currency. Filter by domain, role, or due date to identify gaps.

  ### Export for audits

  Use the export function to generate training records for regulatory
  inspections or internal audits. Exported records include completion
  dates, scores, and domain coverage -- satisfying Part 5 Section 5.91
  documentation requirements.
</Steps>
