This setting is found under Configure > Settings > Change what people can see and do > Directly enter their own training records:
For training that goes through the requesting process, all HR users will receive an email. However, only one HR needs to approve the request . If you have allowed your line managers to manage their peoples training, they will receive the notification email instead.
