Speaking of training...

Training courses are catalog items that can contain several types of sequentially organized content, making up a self-learning structure about a given topic. Such content can be texts, images, videos, documents, PDFs, presentations and SCORM, among others.

Training courses may have other training courses, tracks and subjects as requirements and, in that case, you cannot register in them until you complete all of its requirements successfully.

You can define a pre-test for a training course and indicate whether it will be a passing criterion, i.e. if the student can pass the training course by taking only the pre-test, without having to watch all the content.

When you do not define the pre-test as a passing criterion, completion, whether successful or not, is determined by the grade obtained on the post-test, which must be equal to or higher than the required passing score. You can also pass a training course due to SCORM content, if it is configured to be used as a passing criterion. You can configure only one piece of SCORM content as a passing criterion.

A training course can be associated to a class as a topic item, in that case, parameterization settings defined for the class take precedence.

Training courses may also include a reaction evaluation – such as a satisfaction survey – and a certificate, to be issued to the student when they finish the course successfully.
