NOTE   

If you want to import more than 30 courses, repeat steps 6 and 7 until all the relevant courses are imported.

 

The time it takes to import courses depends partly on the number of courses you import. Notifications are displayed in the notifications feed when courses have been imported successfully and when one or more courses fail to import. Select the bell icon on the LMS365 Admin Center toolbar to check notifications.

Imported courses are displayed on the Training Management page, side by side with other courses and training plans. The Status column for an imported Go1 course shows the red cross icon Unpublished_course_icon.png, which means it's unpublished. The Category column displays the categories assigned to the course.

If one or more courses fail to import, view the relevant notification for more information.
