3. Publish and manage training content
Now that you have gone through your Training settings and created courses, it’s time for you to assign them to your users.
We recommend you schedule your courses to be published at the same time you’re ready to go live with SafetyCulture. This way, you can run your team through their key activities in the app and make the rollout more cohesive for them.
Check out more in-depth content in the Training (editing) and Training (learning) sections.
How does publishing a course work?
Course publishing gives you control over when to make a training course available to your team. This is particularly important for courses that are already published and assigned, ensuring that any changes you make are only reflected to users when you republish the course.
Once a course is published or republished, you can view who made changes and when in its change log. To keep track of the different versions of courses your team might be completing, you can also view which version of a course each user completed against the latest published version.

Training from the menu on the left-hand side.If you're on the "Learn" page, click Content at the top of the page and select Courses.

Once you're ready, click

Please note that reverting a course to draft will also hide the course from assigned users, even if they’ve started the course already.
How do course and quiz assignments work?
Depending on a course or quiz's topic, we understand it may only be relevant to specific team members and perhaps time-sensitive. With course assignments, you can control who a course is available to, make it required for assignees, and even automatically assign courses at set intervals. Similarly, for quizzes, you can schedule to select groups and distribute the quiz questions across the scheduled period.
Course and quiz assignments are only available to organizations on SafetyCulture Premium Plan or Enterprise Plan. If your organization is on the Free Plan, the courses and quizzes you create are available to all users by default.

What is considered completion for courses and lessons?
Completion is an important part of the Training feature as it allows you to track your team’s learning progress. To give you confidence that your team is completing their assigned training and help them improve, each course and lesson can be configured to expect certain requirements before it can be considered complete. To reward completion, each user can also receive achievements and completion certificates for their effort.
