Project Delivery is excited to introduce CTLearns, a new Learning Management System (LMS) that will be a one-stop-shop for training.
CTLearns combines the interactions within Staff Central LMS and the Project Delivery eLearning Center (PDeC)— one of our existing hosts for online, self-paced training. In CTLearns, you request training, attend self-paced courses, view your training history, and more. It is also linked to the California Department of Human Resources and the State Controller’s Office through the EnterpriseHR system so that your training history follows you if you transfer to another participating State agency.
When you log into CTLearns, the learner dashboard appears, displaying active courses, assigned learning paths, completed in-house courses, and more. This eliminates the need to search through several different menu branches. In addition, managers and supervisors can easily track compliance with mandated training and enroll their staff in required courses.

A few exciting features in CTLearns include keyword searches within the course catalog, simplified course registration requests, and generating certificates of completion.
Learners can easily print or download transcripts directly from their dashboard by choosing “Print Transcript” from the menu on the left-hand side of their dashboard. Learners can also browse available courses through the “Register for Course” menu option.
Managers can build training reports, view their staff transcripts, and enroll them in courses by switching to the “Manager” role within one account.
Our CTLearns team will continuously strive to streamline and simplify the training process by updating the system. CTLearns has also partnered with the Equal Employment Opportunity Program (EEOP) to pilot required courses, including Sexual Harassment Prevention Training (SHPT) and Disability Awareness Training (DAT). In addition, we are currently utilizing CTLearns for PM Council meetings, a platform where various trainers and speakers present on topics of concern to Caltrans project managers in all districts.
As we continue to improve and build on our new system, our team will explore system integrations, report restructuring, and methods for tracking training compliance. This also includes ongoing training with the Districts’ and Divisions' point of contact that has already begun.
Finally, in partnership with the Learning Development Office, a new CTLearns resource page will be coming soon to Onramp. Watch for CTLearns guides and learning opportunities as we move into the upcoming fiscal year.
