Learn how to manage training course and quiz themes via the web app.

What are course and quiz themes?

Course and quiz themes are customization options you can apply to your training material to make the learning experience even more engaging for your teams. From selecting color schemes to adding logos, you can create visually stunning courses that help distinguish between companies, sub-brands, and topic groupings.
