Enroll groups on a course


Intended Audience: Administrators, Managers

Summary

Enrollments let you assign courses to your learners individually, or in groups. Learn about assigning courses to groups.

Group enrollments can take longer to process than individual learner enrollments. 

Access Permissions to enroll learners

Admins can enroll learners and groups onto published courses.

For managers to enroll learners and groups:

  • the managers' permissions must include Can enroll learners on courses.
  • the course's Additional Settings must allow Manager can enroll learners?

Enroll groups on a course

Once you publish a course and have groups in your portal, you can create enrollments. 

You cannot enroll anyone, individual or group, on draft courses.

  • From the primary navigation go to Enrollments.
  • From Create New Enrollments, select one or more courses from the Select Courses list.
  • On the Select Users side, select Switch to Groups to enroll groups instead of individuals: the window label changes to Select Groups.
  • Select one or more groups to enroll on a course.
  • Optional: select Re-enroll completed users to add groups to a course they already finished: for example, to make sure learners do not miss mandatory training or re-certification.
  • Select Enroll to finish.

Safety Made Simple confirms these enrollments when they are complete.

The screen shot shows the list of groups, with the Re-enroll completed users? option enabled.


Enrollments for users with disabled accounts.

Sometimes you need to disable a user's account temporarily: for example, a seasonal employee.

While their account is disabled, users are not enrolled on group courses.

When the account is enabled again, Safety Made Simple enrolls the users in any courses assigned to their group which they missed. The user receives the course notification messages upon enrollment, if they have an email listed on their Basic Info page.

Note: this enrollment step to "catch up" on group courses happens even if a course has expired.
