If you're looking for suggestions for what modules to include in Fleet Driver Skills, see this article for how do make advanced combinations and this article for sample sets of modules.

What are optional modules?

In some courses, one or more modules are optional. For example, in the forklift operator's certificate course, the attachments module is optional (not everyone uses attachments); in Fleet Driver Skills, all modules are optional.


How can you use Groups to customise courses to your trainees' training requirements?

Using Groups, you can segregate your trainees into logical groups depending on what their training requirements are. For example, let's say you have 10 forklift operators. Five forklift operators only use forks (we'll call them Fork Group) whereas the other five use forks and some other attachments (we'll call them Attachments Group). You could have all operators do the whole course, but if you want to save some time (around eight minutes for operators that only use forks), here's what you do:

  1. Set up two Groups (Fork Group, Attachment Group)
  2. Load the settings for Fork Group and turn off the Attachments module
  3. Assign fork-only operators to the Fork Group when you invite them, and assign the five operators that use attachments to Attachment Group.

Now your operators will experience a more tailored training experience.


Let's go through the steps:


How do you select modules for each course?

The default behaviour is that all optional modules are available unless you turn them off.

Go to Trainees and courses, then click on Module selection or from the Manage menu, click the Module Selection tab.


There are instructions on the page, but here are the main steps:

  1. Choose a course from the drop-down menu (it says Heavy Vehicle Load Security below, but it will only give you options for the courses you have licences for)
  2. Click Load module selection.
  3. Change the module selection using the checkboxes. If you don't see any modules listed here, that means all modules are compulsory. Your selection is saved automatically.
  4. You can turn all modules off and on in a group by clicking the checkbox in the column header.


Can I release modules over a period of time?

When you invite a trainee to a course, all compulsory modules are available to them when they accept the invitation. You can hold back optional modules by creating a separate group and using module sequencing. Fleet Driver Skills is the only course where all modules are optional. Some other courses have a few optional modules, for example, the Low-speed Manoeuvring course has an optional heavy vehicle module, Heavy Vehicle Load Security (shown above) has optional modules based on what type of heavy vehicles you're using, while the Pre-trip Inspection course has optional modules for combination vehicles, dangerous goods and tippers.


Why are my trainees seeing modules I've disabled?

If you have a trainee that belongs to more than one group they will see the aggregate of the modules available to all groups. You might have turned some modules off in one group, but if they are available in the other group, the trainee will see them.
