From this page, required and recommended courses can be searched for, assigned by multiple variables in the system, and set up to automatically renew.

For an example of a required course, if all employees need to take "Understanding Sexual Harassment" annually, this is where you will set it up to automatically reassign annually with reminder notifications to go out to the employees.

We also offer a video training for this topic on Arcoro Learning.
