Define the Resource Requirements for a Course Template

Learn how to define the Resource Requirements for your Course Templates.

Organised Course delivery begins with defining the essential resources that each of your Courses requires to run. From Trainers and Venues through to specialised equipment, clearly defining your requirements gives you and your team a reliable checklist per Course to make sure everything is organised ahead of your start date!

resource requirements on a Course Template

Per Course Template in your platform you can define what Resources it needs to run, i.e. the Courses require a trainer, a venue, and a projector, and you can also pre-define which Resource should be used, i.e. the Courses typically have ‘John Smith’ as the trainer.

Follow this page to learn how to define the typical Resource requirements for each of your Course Templates.

Please Note

Your Course Template settings are used to define the standard settings for your Courses, however you can override and update most settings for each Course that you schedule.

It is possible to remove, and add additional, Resource Requirements when you schedule your Courses.
