This guide covers creating a course, editing its settings (title, description, estimated hours, completion, prerequisites), and when to use course settings versus the course builder.

Creating a course

  1. Go to Program Dashboard → Courses.
  2. Click Create Course.
  3. In the dialog, enter:
    • Title (required)
    • Description (optional)
  4. Click Create. The course is created and you are taken to the Course Builder to add modules and lessons.
You can add modules and lessons right away or return later from the Courses list by opening the course and choosing Course Builder.

Course settings (edit course)

Course settings control the course as a whole: how it’s described, what counts as “complete,” and whether it can be sold on its own. To edit them:
  • From the Courses list: open a course, then use Edit Course Settings (or the settings or gear icon on the course).
  • From the Course Builder: click Edit Course Settings in the header.
You can edit: Standalone sale options (sell without enrollment) are also in course settings; they are described in Standalone courses. If the delivery model includes provider access, finish setup under Student access. See Set up a course.

Course setup vs learning content vs student access

When you open a course you get a sidebar:
  • Course setup — Title, description, delivery model, estimated hours, completion, prerequisites, and standalone sale options (price, visibility, max seats). Use this when you want to change how the course is described or how it behaves at the course level.
  • Learning content — Structure (modules and lessons) and, via the lesson editor, the actual content (videos, text, resources). This section only appears when the delivery model includes lessons on FirstRespondersHub.
  • Student access — Provider name, fields, timing, and the student message. This section only appears when the delivery model includes access from another provider. See Set up a course.
You do not edit module or lesson content from Course setup. Open Learning content, then the lesson editor.

Deleting a course

From the Courses list, you can delete a course. You can only delete a course when it’s not in use—for example, not assigned to any program offering and not set up for standalone sale. If you see a message that deletion isn’t allowed, remove the course from offerings or turn off standalone sales first, then delete.

Where to find it

  • Courses list: Program Dashboard → Courses
  • Course setup / Learning content / Student access: Open a course from the list. The sidebar sections depend on the delivery model.
