Web system updates 16th Feb 2006

Modern Apprentice Trainees:
When creating a new assignment for a Modern Apprentice trainee on the web training system, the Modern Apprentice Framework is now a mandatory field. You will be unable to save and proceed with the assignment if this field is not completed.

Get ready for work trainees:
When creating a GRFW assignment, on saving the assignment for the first time, you are taken to a screen to enter the VQ reference number. If you ignore this field, and click 'cancel' instead, you will automatically be taken to the newly created trainee assignment and no further VQ details will be requested by the system. Please do not enter a - in any of the VQ fields as this is no longer required.

Edit Trainee Status:
Please note, that to change a trainee from employed to trainee status, or vice versa, there is now a new button. This button can be found at the top right of the trainee assignment screen, immediately above the trainee's personal details. To amend the trainee's status click on 'Edit Trainee Status' - you will then be taken to the trainee diary section where the status can be changed as required.

Other Change of Circumstances:
To amend the VQ description entered for a trainee (i.e. if the awarding body re-name), or to amend the number of hours a trainee is working, please use the Change of Circumstances button in the trainee assigment. From the menu select the 'Other Change of Circumstances' option. You will then be able to enter the new VQ title/hours into the relevant field and save the change.

Please note that a change of VQ title is only a cosmetic change. If the actual course being followed is changing, the Change of VQ/Progression option will be required. If you are unsure what option is best, please contact the TMU Helpdesk on 01870 604970 for assistance.
