How to create training courses

This article explains the process of creating a training course, creating training course steps, and the seamless integration of candidates into the training. Training courses are sets of lessons organized into steps that include assignments (tests or surveys) and additional materials (different types of multimedia content).

Accessing the page #

On this page, users can find training courses categorized as:

  1. All training courses – A list of all training courses in the system, including those in draft, published, or suspended status.
  2. Drafts – Training courses in the creation process, not visible to candidates and fully editable.
  3. Published – Training courses that are ready for users to access. They can be further modified if necessary.
  4. Suspended – Training courses that are currently unavailable to candidates. Candidates cannot start or see them on the My training courses page.
  5. Click a category to open a drop-down list and view all training courses within it. Each category includes a search bar to search for the desired training course quickly.

The number next to each category indicates the total number of training courses in that category.

Creating a new training course #

To create a new training course:

  1. Click the New training course button.
  2. Enter the Name of the training course.
  3. Enter a Description to provide additional information about the purpose or content of the training course.
  4. Generate training course steps with AI. Alternatively, leave this unchecked and generate the training course steps later within the Training steps tab. You can select between two options: generate the steps with AI or create them manually. More details can be found in this video.
  5. Select the workspace to limit user access to the training course within that specific workspace.
  6. Click the Save button.

Upon completing these steps, the new training course will be saved in draft status, allowing you to continue customization.

Training course overview #

Information #

When creating or opening a training course, the Information tab provides the following details:

  1. Name – The name of the training course.
  2. Training course ID – The unique numerical identifier of the training course.
  3. Description – Additional information that explains the purpose or content of the training course.
  4. Status – Current status indicating whether the course is published, suspended, or in draft state.
    • Draft – Training courses in the creation process, not visible to candidates and fully editable.
    • Published – Training courses that are ready for users to access. They can be further modified if necessary.
    • Suspended – Training courses that are currently unavailable to candidates. Candidates cannot start or see them on the My training courses page. Only published training courses can be suspended. If needed, a training course can be unsuspended, and it will regain Published status.
  5. Select workspace – Choose a workspace to limit user access to the training course within that specific workspace. For more details on what workspaces are, visit the Workspaces help pages.
  6. Unlock all steps at once –  Allow candidates to move between training course steps, even if they haven’t passed the assignments. However, they can complete the training course only when they’ve successfully passed all the assignments for each step.
  7. Self-enrollment – Enable self-enrollment for the training course, granting accessibility to all users. This allows them to start the training course without needing prior manual assignment by the training course manager.
  8. Set the price candidates need to pay to take a training course. Candidates must self-enroll in the training for payment to be required. To exempt candidates from payment, assign them directly as training course participants on the Candidates tab, and they will not be required to make any payment before starting the training course.
    NoteThis option is available only if the application enables the E-commerce module. For details on configuring E-commerce and setting prices, refer to this article.
  9. Require manager’s completion – Prevent candidates from finishing the training course themselves. Instead, training course managers are responsible for completing the training on behalf of the candidates.
  10. Require confirmation for attachment review – Require candidates to confirm they have reviewed attachments before proceeding to the next training course step. The confirmation dialog appears only in steps that include attachments. For more information, check this article.
  11. Created by – Displays the name of the user who created the training course.
  12. Creation date – Displays the date and time when the training course was created.
  13. Updated by – Displays the user’s name who updated the training course.
  14. Update time – Displays a date and time when the training course was updated.
  15. Select the Publish option if the training course is in Draft.
  16. Select the options to delete the training course.

Candidates #

On the Candidates tab, you can assign candidates to the training course or manage those already assigned.

To assign candidates to training course:

  1. Click the Assign candidates button. Choose users from the list of all users or specifically from your user groups.
  2. If assigning candidates from your user groups, select a user group from which you want to assign candidates. Note that this field does not exist if assigning candidates from a list of all users.
  3. Select the candidates you want to assign.
  4. Click the Confirm button.

Specific actions can only be performed for already assigned candidates. Select the candidates, click the Actions button, and then:

  1. Remove the selected users from the list of training course candidates. They will no longer have access to the training course on the My training courses page and won’t be able to take it.
  2. Change the candidate’s assignment status to indicate they haven’t completed the training course, even if the status was previously marked as Completed.
  3. Move the candidate to a specific training course step, regardless of their progress. If the step includes assignments, the candidate will be moved to the chosen step, even if they haven’t completed it.
  4. Complete the training course on behalf of the selected candidates who have reached the final step and completed all the assignments within the training course.

Managers #

Use the Managers tab to assign users as managers with full editing rights for the training course. The training course creator is automatically assigned as the manager, but they can also delegate these privileges to others.

  2. Remove the user from the list of training course managers.
