Curriculum Overview
A curriculum is a structured learning path made up of multiple courses. It helps guide learners through training in a specific order, ensuring they complete the right content at the right time.
Rather than assigning individual courses one by one, a curriculum allows administrators to group related training together into a single learning experience.
What Can a Curriculum Include?
A curriculum can contain:
- Onboarding programs
- Compliance training
- Leadership development courses
- Product knowledge training
- Certification pathways
- Role-based learning programs
Each curriculum can include as many courses as needed to support your training goals.
How Curriculums Work
When a learner is assigned a curriculum, they gain access to all courses included within that learning path.
Administrators can organize courses in a logical progression, helping learners move through training in a consistent and structured way.
For example:
Curriculum: New Hire Onboarding
Course 1: Welcome to the Company
Course 2: Company Policies
Course 3: Safety Training
Course 4: Job-Specific Skills
In this example, the learner completes a series of courses that together create a complete onboarding experience.
