Hello! 

I’m setting up a monthly leadership training series. The trainings will be once a month, starting in January and completing in December. Team Members will be able to self enroll in the events they want to attend. This means, they could come to January, but don’t have to come in February. We don’t have the set dates for February - December. 

Which do you feel is the best way to set up this training series:

  1. We set it up as 1 ILT per Month (January is one course, February is one course, etc.) 
  2. We set it up as 1 ILT for the whole year, setting up each month as their own session, just not setting a date until it’s scheduled. Only issue I’m seeing with this is how would we allow them to be enrolled in all sessions. Would this be something we’d have to manage at the admin level? Or is there another way we can do this?

Also open to additional ideas or best practices for how to set this up so that it is the best experience possible for our end users. 

Thank you in advance!

Hi there!

Assuming that each month will focus on a different topic? In that case, I’d lean towards setting up each month as it’s own course. I think it would give you greater control over creation (since you might be building them as you go) as well as greater control over reporting.

In my mind, if the January topic were “situational leadership”, I’d build one course shell, that has one session for the date, and one event. Then I’d do this again for February, March, etc.

I think a potential upside to this approach could be that you might decide to repeat the offerings in 2026 and beyond. Since you’ll probably hire new employees mid-year, you might have someone who doesn’t attend situational leadership in January 2025, but does so in January 2026. At this point, you’d already have the course shell built, so you’d just add a January 2026 session and event. Then, after you’ve run several sessions of the same topic, when you’re asked for a report on “everyone who has ever attended situational leadership,” you could report on the course and pull in all sessions of it.

This would be my approach, but I’m interested in hearing how others would tackle it...
