How to Add an Existing Course List to Learning Path

Summary

This guide explains how administrators can add an existing Course List to a Learning Path in the LMS. It covers where to access the option, how to select the desired Course List, and how the system updates the Learning Path structure and estimated learning time after the Course List is added.

Introduction

Learning Paths allow you to organize training into structured sequences of Course Lists. If a Course List has already been created in your LMS, you can quickly add it to any Learning Path without rebuilding it from scratch. This guide walks you through the steps to add an existing Course List to a Learning Path efficiently.

Requirements

  • Administrator access to the Learning Path module.

  • At least one existing Course List already created in the system.

  • Permission to edit the Learning Path where the Course List will be added.

Steps to Follow

  1. Navigate to the Learning Path tab in the LMS.

  2. Create a new or open the Learning Path you want to edit by clicking the Edit button.

  3. Click the Existing course list button to add a Course List from the available options.
