Human resources administrators and managers can use the courses features to maintain information about the training that's offered to workers.

Course templates

You can use course templates to categorize courses according to their structure or content. They can be used to prefill information when a new course is created. You can create course templates on the Course templates page.

The minimum and maximum number of participants that you can register for a course is defined on the General FastTab of the Courses page.

Course setup type

The following table lists the three setup types for courses. Setup types determine the structure of the course.

Setup	Description
Standard	Select this type for courses that will not have a daily agenda. This is the default setup type when you create a new course.
Agenda	Select this type to plan the details of each day of a course that takes place over multiple days.
Agenda + session	Select this type for the more complex courses. For example, you can divide the agenda for the course into tracks and sessions. Track – Tracks are specific subject areas for a course. Sessions – Sessions divide up tracks and help identify specific processes or techniques that are relevant to the track.
