Prerequisites
Build learning paths where each course opens when the ones before it are finished.
Build learning paths
Decide which courses must be finished before another one opens. A beginner course can lead naturally into an intermediate one, and then to an advanced one. Administrators set the order once, and learners follow a sensible route through the catalogue without needing staff to check every step.
A clear route for learners
Learners see what they still need to complete to unlock the next course. The requirements are listed on the course page in plain terms. This helps learners set goals, and parents or teachers can see at a glance how far along the path a learner has reached.
Works with bundles
Combine prerequisites with bundles to guide learners through a full programme. A bundle can hold every course in the path, sold together as one offer. Learners buy once and then unlock each course in the right order as they complete the one before it, with progress shown at every stage.
