How to Use ClickUp for Remote Training Programs

ClickUp can power your entire remote training program, from planning and content creation to delivery, tracking, and continuous improvement. This how-to guide walks you through practical steps to set up and manage virtual learning so your distributed teams stay engaged and productive.

Based on the capabilities highlighted in the ClickUp remote training overview, you will learn how to build a scalable training workspace that works for any organization.

Step 1: Plan Your Remote Training in ClickUp

Begin by defining clear learning goals and mapping them into a structure your team can follow.

Create a ClickUp Space for Training

1. Create a new Space dedicated to Learning & Development or Training.

2. Add Folders for key categories, such as:

   • Onboarding
   • Product training
   • Compliance and policies
   • Skills and leadership development

3. Use Lists inside each Folder to store specific courses or programs.

Define Training Goals and Outcomes

1. Create a task for each training initiative or course.

2. In the task description, document:

   • Learning objectives
   • Target audience
   • Required resources
   • Expected completion time

3. Use Custom Fields to capture difficulty level, department, and priority.

Step 2: Build Remote Course Content in ClickUp

Next, transform your remote training ideas into structured, accessible content.

Use ClickUp Docs for Training Materials

1. Create a Doc for each course or module.

2. Structure Docs with clear sections, such as:

   • Introduction and objectives
   • Core content and examples
   • Assignments and exercises
   • Assessment or quiz information

3. Embed images, screenshots, and links to videos or slide decks to keep learners engaged.

4. Link each Doc to its related training task so everything stays connected.

Organize Attachments and Media

1. Attach slide decks, PDFs, and worksheets directly to course tasks.

2. Use task comments to share links to video conferencing recordings or external LMS resources.

3. Tag assets with labels in file names to make them easy to search later.

Step 3: Schedule and Deliver Sessions with ClickUp

Once content is ready, schedule remote sessions and manage all logistics in one place.

Build a ClickUp Training Calendar

1. Switch a training List to Calendar view.

2. Set due dates and times for live sessions, deadlines, and follow-up activities.

3. Color-code tasks for session type, such as live webinar, workshop, or self-paced module.

Assign Trainers and Learners

1. Use the Assignee field to assign each course task to a trainer or facilitator.

2. Add watchers so managers are notified of progress and changes.

3. Create child tasks or subtasks for participants when you need individual deliverables, such as quizzes or projects.

Step 4: Track Progress and Completion in ClickUp

Monitoring learner progress is essential for effective remote training, and this is easy to manage inside your workspace.

Set Clear Statuses for Training Tasks

1. Customize task statuses to reflect the learner journey, for example:

   • Not started
   • In progress
   • Awaiting review
   • Completed

2. Update statuses as learners move through each step.

3. Use filters to quickly see who is stuck or behind.

Use ClickUp Views to Analyze Training Data

1. Create a List view to see all training tasks with assignees, due dates, and statuses.

2. Set up a Board view to visualize work by status and identify bottlenecks.

3. Use a Table view with Custom Fields to track completion rate, scores, or attendance.

Step 5: Automate Routine Training Workflows in ClickUp

Automations help you streamline repetitive administrative work in your remote learning program.

Automate Notifications and Reminders

1. Create an automation that sends a comment or reminder when a task is approaching its due date.

2. Automatically change status when a task is completed or when a specific field is updated.

3. Trigger alerts to managers when critical training is overdue.

Standardize Course Creation with Templates

1. Design a master course task that includes:

   • Predefined subtasks for content development, review, and delivery
   • Standard Custom Fields
   • Default checklists and attachments

2. Save this setup as a task template.

3. Apply the template whenever you launch a new course for consistent structure.

Step 6: Collaborate and Communicate in ClickUp

Team communication can stay tied to training work rather than scattered across tools.

Use Comments and Mentions

1. Ask questions or give feedback in task comments so everything stays in context.

2. Use @mentions to bring in subject-matter experts or managers when needed.

3. Convert comments to tasks when follow-up work is required.

Collect Feedback from Learners

1. Create a List or form to gather feedback after each course.

2. Use Custom Fields for ratings, role, and course name.

3. Review feedback in a Table view to identify improvements for future sessions.

Step 7: Improve and Scale Your Training with ClickUp

Once your basic system is running, refine and expand your remote training program.

Review Performance and Outcomes

1. Analyze completion rates, overdue tasks, and quiz results stored in your workspace.

2. Identify courses with low engagement or frequent delays.

3. Revise Docs, schedules, and assignments based on the data.

Standardize Across Teams and Departments

1. Clone high-performing training Lists or Folders for other teams.

2. Adjust templates to suit regional or departmental needs.

3. Use permissions to manage who can edit course materials and who can only view them.
