Programs and course bundles

A programme (bundle) groups several courses into one enrolment. See how your programmes are listed, why courses inside a programme open one after another, and how programme certificates work.

A programme (called a bundle on the school website) is a set of courses you enrol in together. Inside a programme the courses are often called modules, and they may open one after another on a schedule rather than all at once.

The Self-paced courses page

  • The summary cards show how many Programs you have, their Average Progress, and your Standalone Modules (courses you have outside any programme).
  • Enrolled Programmes lists each programme with its courses in order; locked courses stay visible until they open.
  • Standalone Registry lists the courses you enrolled in on their own. Open any of them directly.

When each course in a programme opens

The school sets, for each course, how long after your programme enrolment it opens: immediately, or after a number of minutes, hours or days. The clock starts on the day you enrolled in the programme.

What a locked course says

  • “This course unlocks on {date}.”

    WhyThe course opens on that date and time.

    FixCome back then. Nothing else is needed.

  • “This course is not released in this program yet.”

    WhyThe programme hasn't scheduled this course for you.

    FixContact the school if you think it should be open.

  • “This module is still scheduled for a later release in your program.”

    WhyShown on a locked course card on the dashboard.

    FixOpen the programme page to see the date.

  • A course you have already finished is never locked again.
  • If you also bought the course on its own, it is open straight away.
  • Inside a course, sections can have their own schedule too. See Course progress and the unlock (drip) schedule.
  • Your school may email you when a course in your programme opens.

FAQ

Can I open the next course early?

Only the school can open content early. The dates are part of how the programme is taught.

Courses in a programme open on time, not on completion. Check the date on the programme page.

Why is my programme progress lower than I expected?

It's the average over all courses in the programme, including ones that haven't opened yet.
