Our catalogue of training on GovernorHub covers all of your statutory governor training as well as much more. But there might be times when you want to signpost your governors to recorded sessions, other links and also prompt them to book onto live sessions you are delivering from your trust team.

If you want to make your trust training courses available on GovernorHub, there needs to be a 'training account' which allows you to create courses and sessions for your governors to book onto.

The GovernorHub support team will set this up for you in the first instance, but if you are listed on that account, you will be able to access it via your side-menu on GovernorHub.

If you have admin rights on your admin account (people with a green Admin label beneath to their name on the Group tab) you will be able to add people to the training account by using the Add member button at the top of the members list.

Simply type in the email address of the person you want to add, and follow the steps to add them to the group.

Admins can also remove people from the group by clicking on their name in the members list and then on the red Remove button that appears. This will revoke their access to the admin account.

If you're a member of your trust or service's training account on GovernorHub, you will able to create training courses from the Training tab of the account.

To create a new course, click on Create new course.

You can then give the course a name and an optional description. You can also categorise courses by typing the category name (e.g induction or safeguarding) into the Categories box. Existing categories will appear as a drop down or you can add a new one by typing the name and hitting Enter.

You can distinguish between a live or an online course.

Online courses in this regard are courses that can be taken at any time by clicking on the link provided.

Choosing to make a course an Online course will create an instant clickable link in the Resources training area that takes users to the resources chosen, and will not create a bookable session or update on individuals training records.

Live courses will have sessions that take place on a specific date and time. You may provide an online link to access the session, but governors will need to book a place on the session, rather than clicking to begin the training at a time that suits them. Once attendance is marked for the session these will appear on a users training record.

Once you've added all the details for a course, click Create. Your course is now ready to add any live sessions. Click the Create new session button to specify a date and time.

You can create multiple sessions throughout the year for a course, or a multi-part session over 2 dates if needed.

Once your session is created, it will be live for governors to book on, via the Training tab in your trust resources or service area. They will see the Book a place option available on the page.

If you need to update the course title, description or categories, click on the name of the course in the course list and click Edit course.

If a course is no longer running, you can archive the course so you can still see the historical sessions but you won't be able to add any more sessions for the course. To archive a course, click on the red Archive Course button.

If you need to update any of the details for a training session, click on the session ID listed under the course.

Click on Edit Session to update the session details.

To remove a session altogether, click on the red Cancel session button.

For help in administering the delegates on a session, please see our separate help articles on this.
