Features
Course Program
You use the course program to make a course offering available to learners in their Learning Portal. This can contain a wide variety of courses with different delivery methods (for example, classroom training, WBT, online test). You can thus ensure that the most current courses are always available to learners so they can fulfill the requirements in their task environment.
Learners search for a suitable course offering in their Learning Portal. Once they have selected the course program, they can subscribe to it and book the courses within it at a later point in time, and cancel them if necessary. The system guides learners through the course program, which can be completed in a specific sequence and can also contain alternative courses.

● Person
● Contact person
● User
