SP Marketplace releases Training Department Portal Template for Office 365 / SharePoint

Online, September 18, 2014 (Newswire.com) - SP Marketplace (SharePoint Marketplace) the leader in the Office 365 business applications market, announced SP Training Portal, a site template which improves productivity and collaboration for internal training departments. The new application is the latest to join the SP Business Suite offerings for Office 365 / SharePoint platforms.

SP Training Portal turns Microsoft SharePoint on Office 365 or Server into a portal for Training Department to track course requests, development, class schedules, registrations, vendors, trainers, and certification renewals. It covers the training life cycle from initial course request through measurement of attendance.

Track certifications renewals in regulated industries

In industries like healthcare, energy, government, and manufacturing, where periodic certification is an audit requirement, SP Training Department simplifies the process of making sure your employees have the right training at the right time. “More organizations are seeing the need to manage training, whether in-house or courses provided by venders,” states Darrell Trimble CEO of SP Marketplace. “Having an employee not working due to missing a required certification renewal, can impact productivity and the bottom line. SP Training Portal, helps HR. and internal training staff ensure that never happens.”

Two different site portals, one for training department staff and one for employees, provide the right information at the right time. Employees can browse course offerings, request courses and register through the Employee Portal. Training staff can track course development projects with task tracking. Or if courses are purchase or contracted, they can track vendor and trainers right in the portal. Once a course is available it can be added to the Course Catalog and classes scheduled in the class calendar.

SP Training Portal is available as a standalone application or as part of the SP Business Suite offering from SP Marketplace. It is available immediately through www.spmarketplace.com.
