Credit (Andrea Porreca): How we can see if someone took and passed the training module since they have Site Admin access? they do not show up enroll on the course, but they confirmed they took the course and the quiz at the end. I cannot see them on the gradebook page.

  Moodle does not track Admins in the same way as students. You won't have the necessary data, without applying the following work-around.

  You:
  1. Enrol them as student

  They:
  1. Switch to student view (Course Admin > Switch role to > Student)
  2. Complete all training requirements whilst they are in student view
  3. Only switch back to admin after they have completed all requirements

  Please note that this is not really a foolproof and robust solution. They can always return to their admin role and change their own grades, undermining the integrity. A level of trust and good will is required.The other approach is to create them a second account, and have them use this for when they are a 'student'
