Add and Edit Employee Training Information
Go to Drivers > Training. Find the employee to add training information for by using the search field or locating them in the list.
Once the employee is found, click on their name.
The user will then be taken to the employee's training file. Note: The Checklist items are set up via Settings. See Encompass Training Setup for more information.
The training items for individual employees can be added in one of two ways:
- Individually, which allows for notes to be added.
- Edit full list, which does not allow for notes to be added.

- Last Completed Date (mm/dd/yyyy format): Use this field for the date the item was last completed. Each training item needs this field completed if not using n/a.
