Qualifications and Training Programs are the same features in the LMS. Qualification is the term used in the Enterprise LMS. Training Program is the term used in the MSHA LMS. MSHA customers will refer to Training Programs articles to set up their Training Programs.

The Express LMS is a basic feature LMS and does not include all the features of a full-service LMS. The Express LMS does not include the ability to create qualifications.

 

INTRODUCTION

A requirement is a sub-set of a qualification that includes associated activities. The steps to create a qualification begins with the activity.  Activities are grouped into requirements and then added to the qualification.

Refer to the Qualifications and Requirements Overview article for an in-depth explanation of requirements and qualifications.  This process assumes that your activities have already been created.
