COT Sessions

A session is a scheduled sitting of a training event — a date, time, and a location or online link. An event can have a single session or several.

Add sessions

Sessions are set when you create or edit an event. In the event dialog:

Create-event dialog showing session date and details

  • Use the Single session tab for a one-sitting event.
  • Use the Multi session tab to add several sittings under the same event (officers pick which they'll attend).

For each session, set:

  • Date and time
  • Location (in-person) or joining link (online)
  • Capacity, if you want to cap attendance — when full, officers are offered a waitlist instead of a place.
  • Session type — which part of the training this sitting delivers.

Session types

Each session delivers one part of the COT (see the 2026 training model):

Type What it covers
Full Session Part 1, Role Specific, and Part 2 in a single sitting — the simplest option.
Part 1 The first general "bookend" — for all officers.
Role Specific The per-role content — credits one role.
Part 2 The second general "bookend" — for all officers.

The quick Schedule a COT action creates a Full Session. To split an event into separate Part 1 / Role Specific / Part 2 sittings, open the event and add sessions, choosing the type for each.

Completion

An officer completes a role's training by attending Part 1 + Role Specific + Part 2 within one event, or one Full Session. The general parts are done once; each additional role only needs one more Role Specific sitting.

Joining links

The online joining link is only revealed to officers who hold a confirmed place on that session. Waitlisted officers don't see it until they're seated.

Formats

  • In-person — venue, directions, accessibility notes.
  • Online — joining link and platform.
  • Hybrid — both; track attendance from each as needed.
