When to complete your Arbor Academy Onboarding Training

When should I complete my Arbor Academy Onboarding Training?

Your Arbor Academy Pre and Post-Launch Training is now available to book via the Arbor Training Hub, in addition to other courses and training materials.

The Arbor Academy onboarding training is broken down into individual courses, making it easy to book and attend - staff have the freedom to choose which courses they want to attend and when from our schedule of onboarding training. The training is a mixture of live instructor lead training and pre-recorded video content. You can see the schedule for our live training here. Please note that due to low uptake, we have reduced some sessions to once per week. 

To help you decide when you should complete each course, we have provided a breakdown below with our recommendation, to make sure you're ready to hit the ground running on your Go Live day!

How will I get access to recordings and resources?

When logged into the Arbor Training Hub, you'll see on your Dashboard that you are enrolled in our "Arbor Academy" courses - these are the courses listed above, and the title of the course will end in "Webinar" (e.g, 005: Arbor Academy - Managing Staff Profiles Webinar). This means that there is a live training element that you need to book and attend, before being given access to recordings/resources.

Once you have completed the live webinar, and have given some feedback on the session, you will then be enrolled in a new course that is available on your Dashboard. The course name will end in "Resources" (e.g, 005: Arbor Academy - Managing Staff Profiles Resources). This course contains any recordings and resources, which you download and share with colleagues, or use to refer back to in the future if needed. Searching "Resources" in the search bar will provide you with a list of any training sessions that you have access to the recordings/resources for.

If you have questions about the Arbor Training Hub, please contact training@arbor-education.com
