Search for Classroom Offerings

From the Course Details to Catalog Searches, this page offers up several ways for any learner or manager to search for Classroom offerings.

Overview

Classroom and Virtual Classroom courses cannot take direct enrollment. Enrolling yourself or others in an instructor-led course requires the existence of a scheduled offering for the course. How to find them? There are a number of places, in addition to the Catalog search, where offering lists are found.

This page provides a quick overview of where any user can find them, if the organization uses the classroom or virtual classroom delivery methods.
