Reset course progress

Learn why you might need to reset course progress and how to reset it for a user or for all users assigned to a course via the web app.

Why reset course progress?

Resetting course progress allows admins to clear a user’s progress for a specific course in SafetyCulture Training. It can be used when retraining is needed to correct unsafe behavior or reinforce proper procedures after an incident, error, or non-compliance. This helps team members demonstrate understanding of updated or reinforced practices without requiring a new course.

As an admin, you can reset progress for completed courses in two ways: from a user’s profile to reset a single user’s progress, or from the course summary page to reset progress for all users assigned to that course. When course progress is reset, all previous progress is cleared, and any completion data in training analytics returns to 0%.

When you reset the progress for a course, any progress made in practical assessments, discussions, and assignments within that course will also be cleared.

You need to have "Platform management: Users" permission to reset course progress from a user's profile.

Resetting course progress is irreversible. Once progress is reset, users and admins can no longer view past completion records for that course. Confirmation is always required before any reset, so be sure you're not accidentally resetting the progress of the wrong course.
