The following detail steps illustrate the typical Learnership process in the Signify System. A Learning Administrator will have access to perform the following actions:

- Facilitators, assessors, moderators, mentors and coaches are defined in the master data catalogue.
- A learner group is created.
- Create a pipeline by linking the learner group to a Learnership.
- A planned schedule with training dates for all programmes on the Learnership. (Rollout Plan) is created manually. All the learners registered for the Learnership can now receive a Learnership Rollout Plan.
- An automated procedure creates a relationship link between the Line Manager and Employee’s POE training interventions. The Learning Administrator can also manually link mentors/coaches to the employee’s training interventions.
