Course sessions can be divided into cut sessions. Each cut session has its own start date, end date, location, and instructor. Use cut sessions for course sessions that:

  • Don't run consecutively from start to finish, such as a course that runs two days a week for a month.

  • Are held in various training rooms or facilities.

  • Have multiple instructors.
