Using the offline learning (placement/workshop) activity type

This activity type is used when the provider organisation or subcontractor delivers face-to-face learning. This activity is used if you want to record time spent attending this training and will not complete if these hours are not collected (Off-The-Job Hours). All the enrolled participants will need to attend the session. Once the learning is completed, the administrator will verify attendance.

Completion mode

This field allows you to determine how the activity status is updated. You can choose from two options:

• When `All evidence is accepted`:  Activities are completed when all required evidence has been marked as accepted by the Coach.  The system automates status updates based on the requirement for that activity. (default)
• When `Work Coach decides`: The Coach can manually control the activity status.  This includes starting, continuing and completing the activity.  Please note that if evidence is set to be required this will still have to be provided before the Coach can set the activity to complete.
