Prerequisites can be used to ensure your users take training in the proper order by requiring students to complete certain modules before beginning others. Each module can have one or more prerequisites.

Setting a prerequisite for a Learning Module

Search and edit the Learning Module that needs a prerequisite set. Under the More tab, go to Prerequisites.

Click Add Prerequisites and search for the module. Check the box next to the module and click Return Selected Learning Module(s).

That’s it! The prerequisite is now set.

Student View with Prerequisites

If the student has outstanding prerequisites for a module, they won’t be able to start the module. Instead, they’ll see instructions about completing the prerequisites first.

If they click the View Prerequisites button, they will see a list of the prerequisites and an indication of which ones have not been completed.

Rules for Enforcing Prerequisites

For a prerequisite requirement to be enforced, the following must be true:

• The assignment must be required with a due date.

• The prerequisite module must also be assigned and required with a due date.

Other exceptions

A few other cases where prerequisite requirements are not enforced:

• The assignment is a retake.

• The user has already started the training for the assignment.

• The prerequisite module has been completed in the past.

• Instructor Led Training modules will always allow users to register for sessions, regardless of prerequisites.
