Programmes are the formal qualifications your organisation offers to students and clients, in other words the structured educational pathways through which learners can develop specific competencies and receive recognised certification from your institution.
These qualifications can be awarded as certificates, diplomas, bachelors programmes, etc.

Map Components

Search for ‘Available Components’ on the left and drag them to ‘Selected Components’ on the right.
All selected components become part of your programme, simply drag and drop the components you want in your programme across the selected section then hit ‘Save’.
The order from top to bottom will define the order of delivery of your course components. The hierarchy of the components is indicated by the degree of indentation on the list. If a component is indented to the right, it is a child of the component directly above it.

Remove Components from Programme
If a component has been incorrectly mapped or added to a programme, you can remove it by following similar steps to when you are mapping a component. Open the programme, go to ‘Components’ tab and click ‘Map Components’.
From the list of ‘Selected Components’, hold click the one you would like to remove from the programme and drag it towards the left side. Then click ‘Save’ to apply the changes to the programme.
Please note this action will only affect the programme and future intakes and enrolments. It will not apply any changes to already created intakes and enrolments associated with the programme.
