April also saw the implementation of the new Core Portal where you can book training courses, view your payslips and view/change your personal information.

https://portal.shu.ac.uk/departments/HRD/coreportal/Pages/home.aspx

To book yourself onto any of the above courses:

  1. Log onto the portal (using your usual network log-in details)
  2. Click “My Training Self Service”,
  3. Click “book a course”,
  4. Search for the course you want (using keywords – just type in one of the keywords and click “search” – this is much more reliable than entering more than one keyword)
