Quick answer

Use it to plan a training cohort before it starts: who attends from which organization and role, each person's learning goals and session picks, and remaining seats — so waitlists and role mixes surface while the trainer can still adjust the room.

About this template

Development budget spent without a roster becomes attendance nobody planned. This sign-up organizes a training cohort before it starts: who comes from which organization and role, what each person wants to learn, which sessions they need, and how many seats are left. Waitlists and role mixes become visible early enough for the trainer to adjust the room — not after the slides are printed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which development topics deserve a whole cohort?
Onboarding basics for new managers, governance refreshers for boards, compliance updates, and monitoring — anything an organization must repeat correctly and its staff can't learn alone.
Is this the same as the volunteer shift sign-up?
No — volunteers sign up to serve at shifts; this form signs staff up to learn, with role mix and learning goals that change how the day runs.
Can people register as a team?
Yes — team size and per-person goals stay on one entry so the trainer sees the bundle.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace, set tracks and seats per training.
What about no-shows?
Completion contacts and seat caps keep the record honest; two no-shows moves a registration to the waitlist next cohort.
Does the goal field actually matter?
It's the cheapest evaluation instrument you'll ever get — pre-stated goals versus post-training reports.
