Staff Training

Training is used to increase skills for Members of Staff, make them more strong or supportive, or allow them to access new tasks.

Training
Training Staff requires the Training Room with a Training Pod. Only one Staff can be trained at a time per Training Pod.
 * To start a training course, click on the Training Pod, or on the Staffs UI "Train Stuff" button.
 * In the training screen, select the qualification you want staff to learn, then click the "Start Training" button.

Training Process
Staff will always prioritise their work over training. That means they only go to their training when they are free. They can interrupt their training and continue it when they are free and the campus has a free Training Pod available.

Qualification Level
Each Qualification can be leveled up by staff training, to increase the efficiency of the qualification. For all Qualifications, the maximum trainable level is 10, with most featuring a cap that raises with the Campus Level.

The cap for course-specific Qualifications, however, is instead raised by raising the Course Level itself. The Qualification Level cap begins at level 3, and raises with most Course Levels, until it reaches level 10 when the Course Level is likewise, as illustrated in this table:
