A Trainer is the human element that brings a class to life. While administrators build the curriculum, Trainers are responsible for the day-to-day delivery, supervision, and evaluation of students within a live class. Every class in Nimbu, especially accredited vocational education; the system ensures that at least one qualified trainer is at the helm to maintain compliance and academic integrity.

Multiple Trainers Support

Nimbu supports collaborative teaching by allowing more than one trainer to be assigned to a single class.

• Shared Responsibility: Multiple trainers can be assigned to ensure continuity. If one trainer is unavailable, another can step in to mark submissions or activate content.
• Equal Access: All assigned trainers have equal visibility and management rights over the students within that class. The class will appear in each trainer's dashboard.

What Trainers Can Do

Once assigned to a class, a Trainer gains "Command Centre" access to that specific group of students:

• Content Activation: For Trainer-Led classes, trainers manually activate units and assessments for students, setting open times and due dates to control the pace of delivery.
• Marking & Feedback: They review student submissions, record practical Observations, and assign results like Satisfactory (S) or Competent (C).
• Student Management: Trainers can view individual student progress, add new students to the class, and monitor engagement to identify learners who may need additional support.
