Provide Proof of Training

Your supervisor may ask you to provide proof of required training courses that you have completed. There are two types of accepted proof of completed training:

  • Training Summary
  • Course Certificate

A. How to Save a Training Summary on My Human Resources

  1. Sign into My Human Resources with your Western User ID
  2. Select Training
  3. Select Training Summary
  4. On your browser, select File, then Print. Under print settings change Layout to Landscape.  Reduce the Scale from 100 percent to 50-60 percent to print the entire width. Save or Save as PDF.

Records for online courses, e.g. WHMIS are updated on My Human Resources on the next business day.

B. How to Save a Course Certificate on OWL

  1. Sign into OWL with your Western User ID
  2. Select your course
  3. Select Certification on left menu
  4. Your test results will display; click View
  5. Download and save a PDF copy of your certificate.

Can’t find your course certificate on OWL?

Over time, new versions of the training courses can be added, and old versions updated or removed from OWL Sakai. These changes may mean your course certificate is no longer available on OWL Sakai. For example, a new version of WHMIS was added August 7, 2024. If you cannot find your course certificate on OWL Sakai, please follow the above steps to Print a Training Summary on My Human Resources.

If you are having difficulty, please use ASK HR to contact Western Human Resources.

Administrators Access to Training Records

Leaders can view training records for Western employees in their department by running the Training Records on My Human Resources; generally this will be a function of the Administrative Officers.
