How can I set up a prerequisite for a specific Course?
Navigate to Course settings. Inside a course, you will find this in the sidebar as shown below.
Select Course prerequisites. Here, you can type a Course name into the search bar or scroll down to look through your list of Courses.
Select any Course or Courses that you would like to be prerequisites.
You can exit the window; your changes will have automatically saved.
How will courses with prerequisites look for my learners?
If your learners are assigned a course that has a prerequisite (and that prerequisite course has not yet been completed), it will be unavailable to them.
How could I use course prerequisites?
If you want your learners to complete multiple Courses (as part of your company onboarding for example), in a specific order, you could set up one prerequisite per Course. So course B would have course A as a prerequisite, course C would have course B as a prerequisite, and so on. This way, it would be very easy for learners to know which Course is next for them, as it would only become available once the prerequisite has been completed.
If you have multiple Courses on the same topic, and want to make sure someone does the beginning course before the intermediary or advanced one, you may want to use prerequisites. This is especially relevant when you are not directly enrolling your learners, and they are self-enrolling to those Courses (perhaps via your ecommerce site, or from your internal course library).
