• Is ITS responsible for back-end Primo VE training? 

  • Yes, ITS will be responsible for Primo VE training for the staff modules. It will be assigned to our group later. Will likely be a smaller number of people who need the training.

• Who will need the Primo VE Certification along with the Alma Certification from the various SILS groups? 

  • Will come back to this after the ALMA Certification. It depends on the governance structure that the SILS groups' build for the campuses. Primo VE is going to be mostly standardized The training will automatically recommend it to the IT Teams, although others may need it. Generally a more limited group will need this training.

• Concern about having folks take the ALMA Certification after the ExL training courses,

  • Train the trainer happens late in the process (they do it about 3 months before go live; probably won’t happen this year, probably March or April 2021)

  • We could consider a different timeline for cohort training and local groups where it makes sense to wait for those going through the train-the-trainer series.

  • For the local groups, we can suggest they review Alma Essentials series as a way of providing background without waiting for the train-the-trainer sessions.

Some clarification on what training coordination we are responsible for is needed. Are we responsible for determining and tracking what training is being done by the migration teams or just responsible for tracking training in preparation for GoLive?

Is there a timeline? Will we recommend when the training should happen?

There were some concern over the ILS Data Cleanup being Required to do the Alma Certification. The concern is that the certification is meant for system administrators and decision makers but the Data Cleanup group is not a decision making group.

Also some concert regarding requirement for PPC members. Is the requirement that they get certified (pass the test) or that they just go through the certification training? Can we require them to be taking the portion of the certification training that deals specifically with their area of expertise? Can we require that some PPCs go through the Alma certification and some the Primo VE certification but not all?
