How To Add a Course Offer

The process for setting up a Course Offer is similar across all types, but the fields you need to complete may vary.

With the Qualifications feature, you can now have multiple Course Offers contributing to one Qualification. You no longer need to create a single Course Offer for a multi-year course. Instead, create a Course and assign a Qualification to the Course, and create one Course Offer per year underneath this Course.

Ensure the Code and Description are meaningful for your organization and help distinguish between student groups.
