Purpose Statement
Self-Enrollment allows users to enroll in and complete Training Module courses without the course being directly assigned to them by an administrator or training officer.
This process gives users flexibility to access training content when it is relevant to their role, schedule, or professional development needs.
Background Information
Courses available for self-enrollment are accessed through the Course Library in the Training Module.
Depending on agency configuration and user permissions, users may see the full Course Library or only courses that have been made visible to them. Once enrolled, the course becomes available from the user’s dashboard and can be accessed immediately or completed later.
Self-Enrollment is useful when users need to take optional training, review available content, or enroll in a course before they are ready to begin the material.
Required Permissions
Permissions may vary based on agency configuration.
Users must have access to the Training Module and the Course Library. They must also be allowed to view courses that are available for self-enrollment.
