Hi Docebo Community, does anyone know the limit of the character length for course and session codes? Is it 50 characters?

Thanks so much!

Hi ​@haziehalim ,

Yes, you're spot on! The maximum limit for a Course Code in Docebo is 50 characters.

The same 50-character limit also applies when managing session codes or training material codes across CSV imports, migration templates, and platform definitions.

While Docebo does not restrict duplicate course codes out-of-the-box (it will only warn you if a code is already in use), keeping your codes unique and structured within that 50-character limit is essential—especially if you plan to integrate with an external HRIS, CRM, or automate enrollments via Docebo Connect or Webhooks later on.

For a full breakdown of field specifications and character constraints during data setup and imports, you can reference the official Migrating to Docebo - General Guide.

Hope this helps confirm your structure!

      Hi Hazie,

      For the standard Course Code and ILT Session Code fields, the commonly supported limit is 50 characters.

      Regards,
