Progress Statuses

Training & Curriculum Specialists, Program Managers and above will be automatically enrolled in all courses in their track. However, when a new account is created for a Direct Care staff member, they will not be automatically enrolled in any courses. All courses in a track will display the “Unenrolled” status until the Direct Care staff member is enrolled in them by their Training & Curriculum Specialist or Program Manager (See Course Enrollment). After the Direct Care staff member is enrolled in a course, the course status will change to “Enrolled”.

Remove, Retire, or Deactivate Users

If you wish to remove a staff member from your staff roster because they are no longer employed by your program, or they have finished all their coursework, follow the instructions below.

Transcripts belonging to Direct Care staff members will also include the name of the Training & Curriculum Specialist or Program Manager who certified each course and lesson. In the case of other staff member’s, courses will show up as “Self-certified”.
