Hours for Courses and Sessions

Summary

This guide explains how course and session durations are displayed in different contexts: diploma, My Enrollments menu, registration confirmation, and Administrator menu. It also lists important configuration rules for durations.

Step-by-step Instructions

Diploma

  • The displayed duration is the one defined in the course.
  • If no duration is specified in the course, the session duration is displayed by default.

My Enrollments menu

  • Online course: No duration is displayed.
  • Classroom course: The displayed duration is the one defined in the session.

Registration Confirmation

  • Online course: Duration is not displayed, even if the duration field exists.
  • Classroom course: The displayed duration is the one defined in the session.

Administrator menu

  • Both the course duration and the session duration are visible in the session section.

Important to remember

  • Choose either hours and minutes or days to define the duration—do not mix both formats.
  • Do not enter a value of “0” for the number of days. Leave the field empty if it is not used.

Tips / FAQs

  • For classroom training, always set the duration at the session level to ensure consistent display in the catalog and confirmations.
  • For online courses, leave the duration empty if you do not want it to appear in My Enrollments and the registration confirmation.
  • If a diploma must show a duration, configure it in the course (this takes precedence).
