The Supervisor Training @Iowa sessions for administrative supervisors are available via online or synchronous (Zoom) modalities; the Overview session is only offered as an asynchronous (online) course. The supervisor training is available via online through My Training.

To become compliant with this mandatory supervisor training requirement, please:

1. Go to Employee Self-Service → My Career → My Training
2. Select "Enroll in Courses" and search for course number
3. Register for and complete all four sessions

Online Course Information:
• Overview Session (Course #WSPR00) – ONLINE ONLY, required for all supervisors
• Module 1 – Recruiting, Hiring, and Onboarding (Course #WSPR01)
• Module 2 – Engaging and Retaining Employee (Course #WSPR02)
• Module 3 – Facilitating Performance, Coaching, and Documentation (Course #WSPR03)

Supervisors have the option to test out of three of the four required courses (excluding the Overview). If you receive a passing score on a session assessment (80 percent or higher), you will not be required to participate in that session (online or in-person). Please note that you can only attempt each assessment once. If you want to take an online assessment, use the word ‘assessment’ when searching using the instructions above. Alternatively, you can search for these sessions using the codes below.
