Set up a new course

Where: Courses → "New course"

1. Click "Courses" in the sidebar, then click "New course".
2. On the "Let's set up a course" screen, pick the card that matches what you're building: "A qualification", "A skill set", "A single unit", or "A short course or workshop".
3. For the nationally recognised options, type the code or name (for example CPP41419) and pick the right result from the training.gov.au search list.
4. On the "Looks right?" screen, check the prefilled title. You can shorten it — training.gov.au titles can be wordy.
5. Click "Continue".
6. For a qualification or skill set, you'll see "Import all units for [course name]?". Click "Yes, import all N units" to pull the full unit list in one go, or "I'll add units manually" to skip.
7. You land on the course workspace. From here you add unit content and set up deliveries.

For a short course or workshop there's no training.gov.au lookup — type a "Title" and click "Continue".

What happens next The course starts as a draft with a draft delivery created for you. Students can't see or enrol in anything until you set up and publish a delivery.

You build each unit's learner guide and assessment once in Unit content — that content lives in your library and is shared by every course that uses the unit, so you're never rewriting it per course. See the getting-started guide for the full path.
