Contracting and Procurement Departments FAQ
Logistics
The following are the two most common ways Praktio launches training organizations. However, if neither seems to fit your needs, let’s discuss. There might be other ways we can launch our training to fit your logistics needs.
Schedule
You and Praktio determine:
- Launch Date: The date to start access to the training for assigned courses for the group of learners.
- Deadline: The deadline for learners to complete each course (usually about 4-6 weeks from the launch date), which the organization should communicate to the learners ahead of time. (In a typical launch, users will continue to have access beyond the deadline—for a full year from the launch date.)
User Setup
You send Praktio a spreadsheet with the names and emails of the learners ahead of the launch date.
Kickoff Web Meeting
Praktio offers a kick-off call on the launch date, where Praktio's founder, someone from the organization, and the learners (at least those you can make it) all join to discuss the organization’s reasons for offering Praktio, Praktio’s learning goals for each course, and important points to highlight (like that the organization won’t receive any performance/score information about anyone but will receive reports on user progress/completion).
Reporting
Praktio will set up automatic reporting to be emailed to whomever at the organization should receive it, detailing each user’s progress/completion in their assigned courses. This can be set up to go out weekly (most common), daily, or monthly.
Courses & Seats
You tell Praktio how many seats you’d like for which Praktio courses.
Link & Code
Praktio will send you a link and a unique code for each desired Praktio course, good to be used for how many seats you purchase for each course.
User Setup
You make the link and code(s) available to your users to use to gain access to whichever courses they are assigned or volunteer to take.
Welcome Emails
After a user uses the link and code to sign up for a Praktio course, Praktio will automatically email them a welcome email with a unique link for them to set up their login credentials (if they haven’t already) and start to access their training.
Reporting
Praktio will set up automatic reporting to be emailed to whomever at the organization should receive it, detailing each user’s progress/completion in their assigned courses. This can be set up to go out weekly (most common), daily, or monthly.

We have worked with some organizations on different pricing models that better fit their particular needs and desired approach to making Praktio training available across their organization. If you’d like to discuss, please contact us.
Timing
Because Praktio self-paced courses are highly interactive, the answer to this question heavily depends on each user. For example, a motivated learner who has very little background in the subject matter of a Praktio course is likely to spend more time in each module, repeating content, closely reviewing feedback, etc. This is one of the great features of self-paced online learning. Those who need to go slowly and repeat can, and those who are confirming their knowledge can move more quickly.
Additionally, all Praktio courses are designed to fit into the differently busy schedules of our learners. In any module, the learner can exit at any time (which automatically saves their progress) and pick up where they left off at any point in the future.
On average, though, it takes about the following times to complete each course:
- Contracts for Procurement Professionals – 2-3 hours
- Commercial Contracts Essentials – 2 hours
- Confidentiality Agreements – 1-2 hours
- Precision Training: Transactional – 90 minutes
- Precision Weekly: Transactional – 15 minutes/week (for 4 weeks)
- Running Useful Redlines – 30 minutes
- Writing Useful Emails – 30 minutes

Tech Requirements
Praktio should work well “out of the box” for your organization, but there are a few tasks we recommend sharing with your IT folks to make sure nothing surprising happens:
- Access to our platform requires adding our domain to your allowlist. If possible, add a wildcard record, set to *.praktio.com. If a wildcard can’t be used, then add these domains/subdomains:
- praktio.com
- lms.praktio.com
- learner-ui.praktio.com
- author-v2.praktio.com
- content.praktio.com
- Allow users to use Chrome or Edge to access Praktio courses.
Customizing
Yes! Contact us to discuss. We can customize existing Praktio courses, collaborate on developing new ones, or develop something exclusive for your organization.
