Managers FAQs
How do l apply for funding for staff members to attend training?
We have created a CPD tracker to record the training, the divisional leads will allocate staff who are able to request training on the tracker. They will need to complete all the green columns to request the training.
How do I know if the funding is approved?
It is stated on the tracker (column AS) , once the funding has been approved you will need to inform the staff member who is attending the training and confirm on the tracker that they are attending the training (column AV & AW)
The training provider is not set up on the procurement system.
If the training provider is not listed in the drop down box (column AC) you will need to send the training provider a copy of the new supplier form - see below, they will need to complete this and send it to - [email protected]
We can’t raise the PO until this is complete – once the supplier is set up, column AE will automatically populate

Why do l have to list the same course multiple times on the tracker?
We need to record the training against individual staff members so each record needs to be separate, you can drag the details down on the spreadsheet to copy the duplicate detail.
