Step by Step

Instructor sees their full schedule

On login, the instructor sees all upcoming sessions with rosters, locations, virtual links, material status, and any pending actions. Everything needed to prepare for the next session is visible at a glance without a support request.

Delivers the session and marks attendance

During or immediately after a session, the instructor marks attendance directly in the portal. Attendance data flows into learner records and compliance reports automatically with no administrator action required.

Reviews feedback and improves over time

Post-session evaluation results and aggregate performance ratings are visible to the instructor in their portal. Instructors see how learners rated each session and can identify specific areas for improvement between programs.

Core Features

Self-Service Attendance Marking

Instructors mark attendance directly in the portal during or immediately after a session. Attendance data flows into learner records and compliance reports automatically with no administrator intervention required.

Evaluation Delivery

Deliver post-session evaluations to learners from within the portal. Evaluation results are captured against the session record and contribute to the instructor's aggregate performance rating visible in their profile.

Session Dashboard

Instructors see all upcoming sessions in a single view with roster counts, session times, locations, virtual links, and material status. Everything needed to prepare for the next session is visible at a glance without logging a support request.

Material Upload and Access

Upload session materials, slide decks, and supporting documents directly to the portal. Materials are shared with enrolled learners automatically and stored against the session record for future reference.

Performance Feedback Visibility

Instructors see their own session ratings and learner feedback over time. Visibility into performance data empowers instructors to improve their delivery between sessions without waiting for a formal review from the L&D team.

Learner Communication

Communicate with enrolled learners directly from the portal before and after sessions. Pre-session prep messages and post-session follow-ups are sent through Trainery rather than requiring instructors to use personal email.

Use Cases by Role

Preparing for a session with 22 learners across two locations without asking the coordinator for the roster

The instructor opens the portal and sees the session details, full roster with learner names and locations, materials checklist, and room or virtual link. All preparation information is in one place without a single email to the L&D team.

Outcome: Session fully prepared without coordinator involvement

Delivering and documenting a specialist technical training program without accessing internal systems

The external instructor accesses only their assigned sessions in the portal. They upload materials, deliver the session, mark attendance, and submit evaluation results all without ever seeing employee records, course libraries, or administrative settings.

Outcome: Secure external access scoped to assignment only

Delivering a one-off session on a specialist topic and submitting documentation without chasing HR

The SME accesses the portal for their session, delivers it, marks attendance, and uploads any supporting materials. Completion records are generated automatically and stored in DocuStor. The SME has no other platform access.

Outcome: SME involvement contained to exactly what they need

Reviewing learner feedback from last month's sessions before designing the next cohort

The instructor opens the feedback section of the portal and sees session-by-session ratings, learner comments, and aggregate performance scores across all sessions delivered in the past 30 days. Specific areas of improvement are visible without requesting a report.

Outcome: Self-directed performance improvement between cohorts

Forcing instructors through the admin interface is the fastest way to reduce delivery quality.

When trainers and subject-matter experts have to navigate a system built for administrators, they miss sessions, lose materials, and fall back on personal email for learner communication. The Instructor Portal gives instructors exactly what they need and nothing they do not, which means they spend their time preparing content rather than figuring out the platform.

Purpose-built instructor view without admin interface access or complexity

Performance feedback visible to instructors continuously, not just at review time

External instructors and vendors access the portal without full platform credentials

Attendance marked directly in the portal and flows into records automatically

Material upload and learner communication handled inside the platform

Frequently Asked Questions

Do external instructors and vendors get the same portal access as internal trainers?

External instructors access the same Instructor Portal but with access scoped to their assigned sessions only. They can see their rosters, upload materials, mark attendance, and deliver evaluations without being able to view any data from sessions or programs they are not assigned to.

Can instructors see learner completion history or only session attendance?

By default, instructors see attendance records for their own sessions. Access to broader learner completion history is controlled by the administrator's role configuration. If your L&D team wants instructors to have visibility into prior learning for context when delivering a session, that access can be enabled per instructor or session type.

How does attendance marked in the portal flow into learner records?

Attendance marked in the Instructor Portal updates the learner's completion record immediately and automatically. For courses where ILT attendance is a prerequisite for credit, the learner's Learning Path or Learning Matrix status updates in real time as attendance is confirmed with no administrator action required.

Can instructors deliver evaluations to learners directly from the portal?

Yes. Post-session evaluations configured by the L&D team are accessible in the Instructor Portal. Instructors trigger the evaluation distribution at the appropriate time and can monitor response rates from within the portal. Evaluation results contribute to the session record and the instructor's aggregate rating.

Can instructors update session materials after a session has been published?

Yes. Instructors can upload, replace, or add materials to a session record at any time through the portal. Updated materials are immediately available to enrolled learners and stored against the session record in DocuStor for future reference.

Do instructors get notified of session changes such as reschedules or roster updates?

Yes. Any session change that affects an instructor including rescheduling, capacity adjustments, or roster updates triggers an automatic notification through the Notification Engine. Instructors see updates in the portal and receive an email or in-app alert simultaneously so they are never caught off guard by a last-minute change.

How does the Instructor Portal connect to the Instructor Management module?

Instructor Management is the administrative layer where coordinators configure instructor profiles, qualifications, availability, and assignments. The Instructor Portal is the instructor-facing experience built on top of that configuration. What an administrator sets up in Instructor Management surfaces immediately in the portal for the assigned instructor without any additional setup step.
