How to Create a Course Bundle

A Course Bundle allows for training such as Online Courses and Instructor Led Courses (ILCs) to be bundled into one Enrollment package. The Courses within a Course Bundle will be grouped together and then separated out as individual Courses once the User has enrolled. The Course Bundle will not be listed as training in the User's My Courses or on their Transcripts upon completion, only the individual Courses completed will be listed on the User Transcript.

Important Notes

Here are a few things regarding Course Bundles you may want to consider:

  • The Access Date and Expiration Date of the individual Online Courses will be ignored. For example, if an Online Course has an access date of August 13th, yet the Course Bundle has an access date of May 15th then that Online Course will be available to Learners enrolled in the Course Bundle on May 15th.
  • Due Dates attached to Online Courses within a Course Bundle will be ignored and the Learners will not be required to complete the Course by a specific Due Date
  • Online Course and Instructor-Led Course Enrollment Message Templates will be overridden by the Course Bundle settings. This means that the Learners will receive the Course Bundle Enrollment Message only, regardless of the Enrollment Emails assigned to the courses within the Course Bundle

Use Case

Below are some examples of client use cases:

  1. Course Bundles are a great tool for clients who sell training and would like to offer their clients deals on multi-training purchases. For instance, a User can purchase five Online Courses in a Course Bundle for $1500.00, but if they purchased all five Online Courses separately it would cost the User $2,000.00.  
  2. Course Bundles are a great tool for clients who sell training to other vendors or clients and need to distribute all Courses in one single Enrollment. For instance, a client may have a variety of food safety Online Courses that they sell to other vendors in the industry. These vendors need the content in one package to distribute to their teams.  A Course Bundle allows the client to package all Courses into one Enrollment for their vendors to purchase.
