I have a VILT course that includes both training and lab time with the instructor. Once completed, users can take an optional exam. We've recently launched a self-paced version of the training course, paired with a separate lab course that users can complete at their convenience. We cannot combine the two courses because the lab requires setup and has limited availability, so scheduling is necessary.
Essentially, after completing the course, users receive a notification to sign up for lab time. Once both the self-paced training and lab courses are finished, they can take the optional exam. We are now trying to determine how to mark the self-paced training and lab courses as equivalent to the VILT course.
We don’t think there’s an existing way to do this, but I wanted to explore the possibility here. Could we create a group that automatically enrolls users in a course marked as equivalent once they complete both the self-paced training and lab courses? I'm hoping someone with more expertise might have a better solution.
As a second part to this, regardless of whether a user completes the VILT course or the self-paced/lab course, they qualify for the certified designation. Is there a way to mix and match these options for badging and recertification, or will they need to be set up separately?
