ESI Trainers first register in the ESI worker program. Once enroled, they will access the ESI trainer portal where they manage training results for ESI workers.
A nominated administrator from your business will be required to complete the steps below.
We suggest you read through the steps of each stage before you get started, giving yourself time to source the documents needed to enrol trainers and use the ESI trainer portal.
Upon ESI worker program enrolment, trainers will be able to access the ESI trainer portal. It will appear as a tile on the home page once logged into the ESI worker program.
For extra help, user guides with screenshots can be found on the Help and Resources page. The ESI trainer portal user guide will help you use the portal (Part 2 below).
