I’m still getting familiar with Docebo, so bear with me. I’m working on setting up ILT (Instructor-Led Training) in Docebo for all our safety trainings.

Each month, we have a new safety topic that lasts about 30 minutes. There will be multiple sessions of the same topic spread out over a few days, and employees only need to attend one session. All employees are already set up in Docebo.

I created the course in Course Management as an ILT.

My question is about SESSIONS:

  • Are sessions intended for each individual training session?
  • When I click into a session's properties, I see EVENTS. It feels repetitive to keep entering the same information when setting up events for ILT.

What’s the difference between sessions and events? Are sessions meant for the training as a whole, and events for when a single session has multiple parts?

Events are the TIME and DATE elements of the Session. A session can have many events. Think of Sessions as the container for the scheduled event(s). You should never have a session without an event as there would be no date or time displayed to the users.

Here’s the way we use the sessions/events.

I have one session and match to one event.  This works for us because we do not have multiple events under one session.

This was very confusing to us when it was rolled out and we found our route is what is working for us.

If you choose to create a single event per session, you can use enrolment archiving to allow users to re-enroll in the same course for the next session(s). Unfortunately it’s a manual process now so that might create more work than creating sessions with multiple events. Using multiple events can work as long as your users can commit to booking that time slot for several weeks, etc.
