Specifying Training Course Details

---

Before a prospective training course attendee can use eTraining to register for a listed course, the course status must be set to Active. If the course format is Instructor-Led or Distance Learning, you must specify additional details about the course, including when the course is scheduled. For Instructor-Led courses, you must also specify where the course will be held. If a course is offered at more than one time or more than one location, each offering of the course is called a class or a class session. Each class session is identified by a unique numerical code.

Navigating Between Courses and Course Details

There are two primary methods for navigating between Courses and Course Details views. These methods are as follows:

When working with only one course record, navigate to the Courses view, select the course record, and then drill down on the hyperlink in the course Name field to open the Course Details view.

This method makes sure that you remain on the same record throughout course administration. This navigation method is used throughout this guide.

When working with details across multiple records, navigate directly to the Course Details view, and edit details for each course.

This approach allows you to navigate through the course list using the Previous and Next Record buttons in the Courses form. When using this approach, it is often useful to query for the courses for which you want to edit details.

Additional Course Details

Course details may include additional information, which can be accessed by clicking the appropriate view tab. The view tabs are:

Topics. For more information, see Specifying Training Course Topics.
Objectives. For more information, see Specifying Training Course Objectives.

NOTE:  A class only needs to be defined if the course is being held at a specific time. Instructor-Led courses and Distance Learning classes must have classes defined, but Web-based courses, CD-ROM courses, and exam courses do not need defined classes.
