Getting started

What the Training Center portal is, how to sign in, and how to find your way around the menu.

When to use

Read this first if you are new to the portal. It explains the roles, the sidebar, and how access works before you dive into a specific flow.

What the Training Center portal is

The Training Center portal is the /partner/* area of the FlexWelder admin dashboard. It lets a welding training center manage courses, editions, students, attendance, agenda, instructors, certificates, staff, finances and integrations in one place.

The Training Center menu appears only for companies whose type is "Training Center" (companyType = TRAINING_CENTER). If your company is set to another type, the training menu is hidden — change the company type under Account settings (Company tab) or contact FlexWelder.

Signing in

  1. Open the admin dashboard (e.g. https://admin.flexwelder.com).
  2. Enter your "Email address" and "Password" and click "Sign in". Sign-in page with the Sign in button highlighted
  3. You land on the Dashboard. The left sidebar shows the "Training Center" section.

Invited staff (activation): if an admin invited you, you receive an activation email. Open the link, set a password under "Set Your Password", and click "Activate Account". Then sign in normally. (See Staff.)

The sidebar

The menu is grouped into sections (labels as they appear in the app):

  • Dashboard
  • Courses & Certificates — Courses, Students, Certificates, Renewal
  • Administration — Staff, Financials, Integrations, Student Portal
  • Settings

What you see depends on your role (see Roles & access): - Owner / Admin / Manager see the full menu. - Trainers see a reduced menu — Dashboard, Courses (their assigned courses), and Settings. The Administration section and the center-wide Students/Certificates/Renewal items are hidden for them.

Some screens exist but are hidden from the menu by configuration: Calendar, Bulk Operations, and Audit Logs. They are still reachable by URL and documented under Other. The Student Portal item is currently shown as disabled ("To be implemented") in the menu.

How access works (in one line)

Most management screens require an admin-level role (Owner/Admin/Manager). Trainers can open the courses they are assigned to — including the edition's Students, Attendance, Agenda and Instructors tabs and a student's card — but cannot create/edit courses or reach center-wide Students, Certificates, Staff, Financials, Integrations, or Renewal.

FAQ

  • I don't see the Training Center menu. Your company type isn't "Training Center", or your account isn't a partner account. Check the Company tab in Account settings.
  • I'm a trainer and can't open Students or Certificates. Those are admin-only. You manage students from inside your own course's edition instead.
