-
Now click the green plus to the right of the drop-down menus.
-
The title of your course automatically defaults to the official course title.
-
Select a venue from the drop-down menu. The venue should be the state where the course occurs. We recommend using the actual name of the state instead of an abbreviation (e.g., use "Maryland," not "MD"), as this will improve the searchability of your course listing. Don't worry about the town or street address yet -you’ll be able add more specific venue information later.
-
Please enter the specifics of your course (including any hyperlinks) in the Rich Text Editor. *If you are copying and pasting information, please “scrub” the formatting by copying the text into WordPad or NotePad and then copying and pasting into the Rich Text Editor.

Disregard the sections titled “Image Settings” and “Attachment Settings.”

“Recurring Settings” allows you to set up a training that is repeated at a specific time for a selected time period. For example, a training that takes place on the first Monday of the month for 12 months.

-
Leave “Allow Registration” and “Only for Members” blank.
-
“Open for Registration” allows you to state for how many days the course is open for registration.
