      Introducing Short Courses

      Short Courses are usually stand alone Unit(s) delivered as a Course. It can be for a First Aid course or even internal Professional Development.

      For reporting purposes the Unit must be set up under a Course.  

      It is recommended that you create a Course called Short Courses and you will need Admin access to do so.

      STEP 1: Add a Short Course

      IMPORTANT: Do NOT create a Course with a Unit Code and Unit Description.

      1

      Before you Begin

      Before adding a new Course, you should always check to ensure that the course hasn’t yet been added to your database to avoid duplicate records, government report errors and ensure internal reporting accuracy:

      1. On the Top Navigation Bar, click Courses & Units
      2. In the Search field, type in part or all of the Course Code or Description.
      3. It is important the you set up the Short Course that is most suited to your delivery. This will have streamline your process and reduce errors. Read the options below.
      4. If your Unit is already on scope you must chose Unit is part of a Qualification 

      Unit is part of a Qualification

      Unit is part of a Qualification

      Most often the Unit that you need to deliver as a Short Course are already attached to a Qualification. If you have a Qualification already set up and the Units are part of the same Qualification, the Best Practise would be to create a Course Offer attached to that Qualification and select the appropriate Units.

      Do not create a new Course.

      *Best Practise would be to create a Course Offer attached to that Qualification.  Call the Course Offer whatever is appropriate and select the appropriate unit/s.

      1. Create a Course Offer: The course offer should be set up for 1 year period, this is so you can manage the amount of Learners enrolled
      2. Click Offers
      3. Click Add Course Offer
      4. Select the Course where the Units are associated with. Then complete the Course Offer details. Example is below:
        • Code: 18FA ( FA= First Aid )
        • Description: First Aid
        • Enrolment start date 01/01/2018
        • Enrolment end date 31/12/2018

      PLEASE NOTE: these dates have nothing to do with a learners start and end date. This is just a container to hold all enrolments for that year

      Skip to Step in the next tab Add Unit Offers

      A Short Course Offer should be set for the duration of a calendar year or per contract period.

      This is because the start and the end dates of the Course Offer do not directly impact the Learner. What is exported are the start and end dates of the Course Offer Enrolment for that Learner which can be adjusted.  This is just a container to hold all enrolments for that year.
