đŸ’» Flink Training Booking Portal

Our L&D Training Booking Portal is a self-service, automated system that handles everything from approvals to calendar invites.

How to Secure Your Spot

  1. Browse the Catalog & Calendar: Check the L&D Training Calendar (add to your Google Calendar) to see upcoming dates for internal sessions and external CrispyCoaching modules. Use this to ensure the dates work with your schedule.

  2. Align with Your Manager: Share your chosen training path with your manager during a 1:1. Once you have their verbal green light, you’re ready to book.

  3. Submit via the Booking Portal: Fill out your request in the Training Booking Portal. Once you hit submit, the automation takes over:

  • Internal Trainings: You’ll receive an instant calendar invite if a seat is available. If the session is full, you’ll join a dynamic waitlist. The system checks for cancellations every 15 minutes and invites the next person automatically.

  • External Trainings: The system triggers an automated handoff to CrispyCoaching. You’ll be CC’d on the email so you can coordinate your specific schedule directly with the vendor.

💡 Financial Rules & Budget Compliance

  • Automated Deduction: You don't need to raise a separate ticket. Any training booked through the portal is automatically deducted from your €1,000 L&D budget.

  • Exceeding the Balance: If your chosen track or module exceeds your remaining budget (e.g., if you have already spent part of your annual €1,000), the system will automatically flag the difference to be deducted from your next payslip.

  • Internal Cost-Sharing: For internal sessions, the final cost is split equally among all attendees and deducted from your budget post-attendance.
