  • Enter a full course description such as subjects covered, any vocational elements or study progression routes etc.
  • Enter the course name in title case - only use capitals when appropriate e.g. ECDL etc.
  • Please use full sentences.
  • Add details of entry requirements and if there are none then please state this.
  • Check you have selected the correct qualification from the list in PROMT and remember you should only add one qualification per course.
  • Give qualification details e.g. who is the awarding body and/or what is the qualification level.
  • Add an opportunity to your course. You should create one opportunity for each delivery mode available. You may end up with multiple opportunities per course or just one.
  • There is no need to add address details as this information is already listed elsewhere. You should however include telephone and email details as appropriate.
  • When entering course start/end dates the drop down calendars can be used. If you do not have fixed start/end dates and offer courses on a flexible or by negotiation basis you should use the Flexible Start Date option.
  • Check you have selected the correct attendance mode e.g. part-time day or self study. See the 'Selecting a Mode of Attendance' section for further information.
  • Enter attendance details such as course duration and times. If self-study, indicate the approximate number of study hours expected of the learner.
  • Use the 24 hour clock when outlining course times.
  • Make sure the cost details field matches the numerical cost box. You should also indicate whether there will be additional costs such as materials, tests etc.
  • Check venue details are correct and if the course is delivered via distance learning or does not have a fixed venue then please select ‘Non-Geo’.
  • Check all statuses (both at course and opportunity level) are set to Active otherwise your course will not be visible on the websites.
  • Once you have finished updating the courses always remember to click ‘Publish’.
