Share course links

Learn about course links and how to share them via the web app so your team can start and complete courses for compliance.

Course links are shareable URLs or QR codes that provide quick access to a training course without requiring manual assignment beforehand. This helps reduce admin effort, avoid delays for teams in the field, and make training available the moment it’s needed. Course links can be shared with either of these options:

  • Only assigned users: Only users who have already been assigned to the course can access and complete it. This keeps access controlled while still making the training accessible.

  • Anyone with the link: Anyone who opens the link or scans the QR code can access the course, even if they aren’t assigned to it. If they’re not part of the SafetyCulture organization yet, they’ll be prompted to join or create an account before continuing. This is ideal for contractors, seasonal workers, or new team members who need quick access without waiting to be added to the organization’s user list.

Course links differ from the links course creators share to edit and preview a course. Those links are intended for collaborators and provide access to the course editor or a course preview, not the live training experience that workers complete.

You can only share course links for published courses.
