Evaluation of the Session:

SDMS Ltd’s quality processes require all Trainers and Consultants to evaluate On Line Training by asking delegates to complete a Standard Evaluation Questionnaire. This is used to find ways to improve our work. We will email a Training Evaluation Form after the session and would be grateful if you could help us achieve these aims by completing the Evaluation Form and returning it to admin@sdmsltd.com.

We will be sending a Training Booklet and Training Exercises for you or your staff to work through after this session.

By working through the following topics you will be able to make use of your evaluation copy and get up and running quickly and easily.

After logging in to Simplex, the Menu Tab provides Menus and Quick Access buttons for navigating the system.

The Training Activity Screen records details what the course is about plus the times and dates it is scheduled to run. It also gives access to the delegate list and the cost spreadsheets.

The Cost screen shows the break down of expenditure. For each Cost Category (the rows) and for each Period / Cost Type (the columns). Totals are recalculated by the system as each new cost item is added.

A list of staff enrolled on the course also shows: their group / department, with enrolment code set to progress them through the process of training approval.

When a person makes an application for an external course, details of the activity, the event, the person and their enrolment information can be added all at once from a single screen.
