Learn how to upload a file to a Course, for your Trainers and/or Delegates to access

Both your Trainers and your course Delegates have their own view in your accessplanit platform to check the details of their assigned Courses. If you have any important documents or supporting files that you would like them to be able to access pre or post Course, you can upload these files to your Course, and they'll be ready to roll when everyone logs in.

Having your files available on to your Trainers and Delegates on login means that you no longer need to provide them over back-and-forth emails, and risk them being lost in a bottomless inbox!

Please note, this guide will direct you to add a file to a single scheduled Course only. If your file should be available on every scheduled Course for one of your Course Templates (i.e. every ‘First Aid’ Course), it would be much quicker and easier for you to assign the file to the Course Template. We have a dedicated guide that will take you through how to complete this.

Follow this page to learn the steps for uploading a file to a Course and making it available to your Trainers and/or your Delegates.
