# Intro to courses

Learn how courses turn individual roleplay agents into structured training programs with defined learning paths, progress tracking, and certification options for your team.

Courses turn your roleplay agents into a structured training program. Instead of sending team members a list of agents to practice, a course gives them a defined path: what to practice, in what order, by when, and what it takes to pass.

## What courses are good for

-   Onboarding new hires with a repeatable, consistent sequence

-   Running multi-week skill development programs with checkpoints

-   Certifying team members on specific skills or methodologies before they go live

-   Delivering training to cohorts through batches: same content, different timelines per group

-   Integrating Outdoo AI practice into your LMS via SCORM export

## How a course looks for learners

Learners find their courses under **Practice > Courses**. When a team member opens a course, they see the **Learning Path** (the roleplay agents in the course), a **Resource** tab with any attached resources, their completion status, the passing criteria and, if the course awards one, a **Certificate** tab. They can start where they left off and, if re-attempts are allowed, retry any session they did not pass.

Progress is tracked automatically. Managers can see who has completed the course, who is in progress, and who has not started under **Performance > Practice** (Courses tab).

## Getting started

Go to **Manage > Courses** to create and manage courses. You need at least one published roleplay agent to add to the course. To assign a course to learners, create a batch in **Manage > Batches**.
