Can someone advise as to how I would enter a course that one person took from an outside vendor. I have the certificate of completion.
Best Answer
One person attended outside training

Love questions like this
- is the course also offered internal?
- is the course from the external source a “strong equivalent”?
- does anyone really care that the course happened externally (maybe you are interested in purely the time and date stamp and record availability in the learning transcript)?
I am asking these because not for nothing? Here is a very plausible option B.
You could:
- (Generate an account for them as needed)
- Ask the person for an “official record” - a cert from that other learning system for example
- Enroll the person in said equivalent course
- Mark them as completed with the date stamp and score
- Call it a day without over engineering anything
I hope that is some interesting food for thought. Enjoy. Let us know the way you take care of this one.
+2You may find using the External Training App useful. Here’s information on it: Activating and managing the External training app – Docebo Help & Support
+6I would add that as an External Training item (External Training > Manage).

One note: My leaders don’t like External Training listings because it means they have to look in two spots to see what training their direct reports received. I enter external training as a regular course, but in the description, I put the name of the org that did the training and a link to that training on their website. I also PDF the certificates earned and any information I am given about what the training covered, and attach them to Course Materials, using the File Repository Area widget.
Hope that helps you!
