What is the active period of a course?

The active period of a course refers to the days the course will sit in the status “Pending”. Generally, a course will be active for 30 days, however, this can be changed within the “Course Settings” of the specific course.


Once the active period has lapsed, the status of the course will move from “Pending” to “Expired”. This means the trainee will no longer be notified they have a course to complete, however, they do still have access to complete the course. Generally, access to the course remains open to the trainee 365 days after the active period has expired.

If the trainee has still failed to complete the course within this timeframe, they will be required to contact their administrator to have the active period extended.
