On Demand Training requests are prioritized based on certain criteria. Factors taken into consideration include request timeframe, number of participants to be trained, number of hours of training, instructor availability, and ability for participants to attend a scheduled session on the same topic. Since each training is designed to cover a pre-defined set of skills and topics, too much variation from that pre-defined list may result in learner dissatisfaction.
A guaranteed minimum of 8 participants is necessary in order to schedule an On Demand Training. These 8 participants may be from othercounties, departments, teams, or units.
