See an overview of learning activity

The homepage acts as a central hub for accessing learning and tracking progress. At the top of the page, promoted courses are displayed. These are personalised recommendations designed to highlight relevant learning opportunities.

Below this, a series of panels provides a high-level overview of learning activity:

  • Mandatory learning – required training assigned to the user
  • Optional learning – courses the user has chosen to engage with
  • Accreditations – recurring training with defined expiry cycles
  • Event bookings – any upcoming sessions the user is registered for

Recommended learning is also presented, supporting ongoing development through tailored suggestions.

Track learning progress in detail

The “My Learning” area provides a detailed view of an individual user’s learning status within the platform. Within this area, learners can:

  • View all mandatory and optional Courses and Pathways
  • See the status of mandatory training, including what is up to date, overdue, or expiring soon
  • Continue any learning that has been started but not yet completed
  • Access upcoming event bookings, including links to join online sessions
  • View and review completed learning activity

Create playlists, share, and recommend with peers

From the All Learning page, learners can access available optional learning organised into catalogues - curated collections that function like brochures, enabling users to browse and select content that meets their needs. 

Here, learners can:

  • Browse optional learning through curated catalogues
  • Create playlists to save courses for later
  • Share or recommend courses to colleagues via message or link
  • Participate in course discussions to support knowledge sharing

Record learning completed outside the platform

Learn also supports recording development activities completed outside the system. Through the “Add My Learning” feature, users can log external learning, such as:

  • Podcasts
  • Webinars
  • Conferences
  • Coaching
  • Mentoring
  • Personal reflections

This functionality ensures that all learning activity is captured in one place, providing a more complete view of development and supporting informed discussions between team members and their managers.
