Curriculum - Create - Step 1 - General - Prerequisites

The Prerequisites section on the General tab enables administrators to set prerequisites for the curriculum. Any defined prerequisites must be completed by the user before they can register for the curriculum. The status of the curriculum will be Pending Prerequisite until the user completes the prerequisites. It is not required that a curriculum have prerequisites.

Important: If a curriculum is in an Exception Requested status, learners can begin the curriculum after completing one prerequisite.

Design Note: An updated interface is available for this page, which can be enabled by administrators in Feature Activation Preferences. With the new design, the functionality of the page is unchanged.

To create a curriculum, go to Admin > Tools > Learning > Catalog Management > Curricula. Then, click the Create a New Curriculum link.

Add New Option

Prerequisite options are the options that a user can complete to satisfy the prerequisite requirement for training item. At least one of the training items within an option must be completed in order to satisfy the option.

If the training only has one option, that option must be completed by the user before the user is able to register for the training.
If the training has multiple options, the user is only required to complete one of the options before they can register for the training.

Click the Add New Option link to add a new prerequisite option. This opens the Select Training pop-up in which the administrator can select the training items that belong in the option. Multiple items can be selected. The selected training appears in alphabetical order within the new option in the Prerequisites table.

The following information displays for each item in the Prerequisites table:

Name - This displays the name of the option or training within the option. Options are automatically numbered in the order in which they appear in the table (e.g., Option 1, Option 2). When an option is deleted, the remaining option names are updated to reflect the new option order.
