How to Setup a Course (Templates)

A course in CPR Enroll+ is the blueprint for your training program. It defines everything — the name, description, price, certification body, expiration period, and all the rules that apply to every class scheduled from it. You create a course once, then schedule multiple classes from it over time.

This article walks you through creating a course from scratch, creating one from a Marketplace template, key settings to review afterward, and cloning an existing course.

Before You Begin

• Decide on your Course Name, base Price, and how long the certification should remain valid (Expiration Years).
• Know which Discipline and certifying Association (AHA, ARC, HSI, etc.) apply to the course.
• Consider whether a similar course already exists in the Marketplace that you could import instead of building from scratch.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Create a Course From Scratch

1. Go to Course Builder > Courses.
2. Click + Create.
3. Fill in the required fields:
   • Course Name (required) — the name students see on your registration page.
   • Expiration Years (required, default: 2) — how long the certification is valid.
   • Price — the base enrollment price.
   • Discipline — select from the 13 available disciplines.
   • Association — select your certifying body (AHA, ARC, HSI, etc.).
   • Description — rich text description visible to students.
4. Optionally upload a Course Image (322 × 220 px) and Cover Image (1358 × 570 px).
5. Click Save.

Step 2: Create a Course From a Marketplace Template

1. Click Marketplace in the sidebar and select Course Templates from the category dropdown.
2. Browse or search. Hover over a card and click Preview to review before importing.
3. Click Use Template. A modal opens with the course name pre-filled.
4. Edit the name if desired, then click Use Template to add it to your account with all fields pre-configured.

Step 3: Review Key Settings After Creation

Step 4: Clone a Course

1. In the Courses list, click ⋮ > Clone.
2. The Create Course form opens pre-filled from the original.
3. Modify the name and any other fields, then click Save.

Best Practices

• Start from a Marketplace template when one closely matches your course, then adjust pricing and description to fit your organization.
• Review all Key Settings after creation, not just the required fields, since defaults like Platform Fee and Close Registration affect how the course runs.
• Use Clone rather than building from scratch when creating a variant of an existing course, to keep settings consistent.
• Assign the correct Discipline and Association so students can find and trust the course on your registration page.
