Add units of competency to a course

Build your unit content once, reuse it everywhere. A unit of competency — its learner guide and its assessment — lives in your library, not inside a single course. When you add a unit to a course, the course points at that shared library content. So the smoothest path is to import your units and build their content first (in Unit content), then wrap courses around them — author once, and every course that uses the unit stays in step. New to this? Start with the getting-started guide.

Where: Courses → open your course → "Units in this course"

  1. Click "Courses" in the sidebar and open your course.
  2. Click the "Units in this course" card (or the units tile near the top of the course page).
  3. To pull every unit from a qualification at once, click "Add units from TGA" at the top of the page. In the "Add units from training.gov.au" dialog, enter the qualification code — the full unit list is fetched and you tick which ones to add.
  4. To add one unit you've used before, type its code or name in the search box under "Units of competency" (or "Add another unit") and click the "+" next to it.
  5. If the unit isn't in your registry yet, type the unit code and click "Fetch from training.gov.au" — it's pulled and attached in one step.
  6. For a unit that isn't on training.gov.au (non-accredited content), click "Add manually" and fill in the code, name, and whether it's "Core" or "Elective".
  7. To remove a unit, click the X on its row and confirm. The unit is archived, not deleted — its history is kept for audit.

What happens next Each unit row shows its content state: "No content yet", "In progress", or "Complete". A unit counts as complete when it has both a published learner guide and a published assessment.
