This is slightly off topic, but years ago I suggested that a database of all the people who can do WHTs be maintained on SMS. That way when we as sqn staff add them, we can search based on their number and not have to read the tint scrawl someone uses. This could be maintained by HQAC and it improves the data integrity, rather like on Dynamics 365.

My responsible for Information - General User qual just ran out so I just went to redo the course but there’s no option to allow me to do this…does anyone have any advice?
Contact your wing Bader poc
Isn’t there a new 2020 version for that one? I’ve lost track of which are old and which have new versions…
Correct.
This seems the most recent thread about this so worth being aware of this issue Ultilearn Courses Update
This is a long term ongoing issue and even as a POC I stumbled across this update 
I don’t think the fix was deployed though, however I have the following questions that I can’t get an answer too and have now pushed for my OC Wg to raise with the RC along with getting a meaningful update.
• Should we continue to complete eLearning Courses or wait for the update to be deployed?
• If we complete a course that fails to correctly record, with the update resolve this or will I need to repeat the course?
• How can Sqn OCs provide assurance to the RC that all Staff have completed their Mandatory Training while these courses fail to correctly record in Ultilearn and therefore on SMS?

This… There is no assurance requesting screenshots for thousands of staff to prove isn’t sustainable and fault proof.
Fairly sure this isn’t taking reasonable measures to provide due diligience either… Reasonable measures would be fixing it so it works properly
It’s worse than that. I can’t pull off a report of courses taken by staff. I can for cadets and cadet exams but if I want to see if a staff member has done a course I have to check each SMS record individually then work out what that random combination of percentage, status and completion wording means. How can someone have 100% satisfied incomplete?

Helpful update from Team Bader on current known Ultilearn issues - Ultilearn / SMS Qualification Recording Issues
Hey, got some Mandatory Training yet to complete but Ultilearn has been down for the last couple of days. Everytime i attempt to visit learning.bader.mod.uk as usual, it redirects to the Bader landing site. Does anyone know when Ultilearn should be back up as with all it’s issues and now this it is getting really quite annoying now…
This is part of the bader outage that started on Thursday.
99% sure the email comms went to personal accounts
They were spammed to both role and personal.
Or at least, they were to me!
Informing staff is all well and good but staff cadets need to do mandatory training too… A notification on Cadet Portal at least would’ve been helpful. Anyone have any guesses on when Ultilearn will be back up?
Fyi… I got nothing
Its never been ‘up’.
More a sack of crud on constant life support.
Even in its ‘hay day’ it wasnt anything to shout about. Its a product of the early to mid 90s dragged out and sold to us in mid 2000s.
When LEARN comes out, i will be so pleased.
Literally, in every sense of the word will be having a party when it does.

Couldn’t agree more tbf! but either way, i have much mandatory training to do and not massively long to do it, so hopefully it’ll be “up” soon…
Not being funny but as a potential staff cadet you have 6 months to do this, from 17.6 to 18.
It’s also not massively loads;
Fire & H&S are next next finish, you don’t even have to download the PowerPoint files to “pass”.
ACTO 10 is 30-45 mins
Safeguarding is 45 mins
Security is 30 mins
Responsible for Information 45 mins
As an OC I’d allocate time to complete this during a parade night and a half.
I think he was refering to the fact that their ultilearn doesnt work and so no long to do it before turning 18 vs LEARN coming in.
Not the actual time needed to do 5 or 6 modules.

Looks like someone reads the materials rather than just pressing next and using common sense on the answers

And taking pictures of the right answers on your phone just in case you fail the assessment?..asking for a friend?
