In my position 6 months, still in probationary period which was extended to 8 months to give more time for training because circumstances kept popping up and interfering with my training. There's still things I'm not trained on, when I ask I get told 'Oh you don't have access to xyz program still so So-and-So will need to do this' or 'Let 'So-and-So do it when shes back'. I feel like I have more down time than I should. How can I approach this with my supervisor?

A bit of further context since there's a character limit: It's just myself and one other person who share the same responsibilities, and they're specialized things so I can't 'wing it' or figure it out on my own. Some things I understand not being trained on yet, because they're reports that come in daily or weekly and are sometimes empty so if they're empty, I can't use them to learn,

I also appreciate that my boss has had the best laid intentions of getting me trained up on some things-there's been talks of getting test environments set up for me to learn how to do some stuff, but life keeps throwing her curve balls that are stretching her thin and she has to go back to the drawing board.

I mostly just want to make sure that because I don't know how to do certain things yet, it wont be reflecting on me in my review once it comes around in June.

I'd say document everything.
Send emails about every single thing.
Be proactive - follow up constantly on the process of your getting access to whatever system or platform it is.
Offer suggestions on alternative ways to learn or get the training, for example, ask if you can reach out to xyz or if there is a self-led training you can take.
Ask for things you can do in the period while you're less busy.
And did I mention, document everything? If you have a discussion, go back and send an email recap.
