Class Creation & Search FAQs
Why is the Trainer List empty when creating/updating a class?
The Trainer List will be blank if there are no trainers in the system with the relevant trainer competencies for the selected units. To fix this, go to Contacts > Trainers > Trainer Competencies and ensure the trainer has the Train & Assess competency for the required Units.
