# The course library

You can explore all the courses available in your subscription by browsing the course library.

## How do I find the course library?

You will find the “**Course library**” button at the top right of the dashboard page. Alternatively, you will find the **Course Library** menu in the navigation bar on the left.

## What can I do there?

The course library is the starting point for all your trainings.

-   **Select your course:** Choose a course of your choice. We'll show you which courses are perfect for getting started. At the top right, you can search for specific topics or filter by topic area.
-   **All details:** When you open the course, you'll find all the details. Which chapters are included, available languages, duration, etc. On the right, you'll see a preview of the course. So you can jump right into the course content and see what your participants will see later.

## How do I create a training?

Click on Select course and there are just two steps left:

1.  **Set training period:** Every training course needs a start date and depending on the duration type you choose, either a period duration or an end date. Use the default settings or adjust them as needed. Give your training a name, select an activation date, and set the duration or end date.
2.  **Invite participants:** Invite yourself and other users to the training. Participants will receive an email inviting them to complete this training. A link in the email will take them directly to the training area.

## What are different duration types?

Depending on your needs, you can choose between Period and Fixed deadline.

**Period**

With the **Period** option, the training runs for a predefined period (**monthly, quarterly, or yearly**) starting from its activation date. Once configured, each training period follows the selected schedule automatically.

This option also allows you to:

-   Enable **Repetition (Wiederholung)**, so the training automatically starts again from the beginning after the last phase is completed.
-   Use **Add more courses** to create a multi-phase training with additional courses that follow one another over time.

For organizations that want a long-term, automated training program, **Period** is the recommended option.

**Fixed deadline**

With the **Fixed deadline** option, you define both the training start date and a specific end date.

This option is ideal for one-time training campaigns that must be completed by a certain date. Because the training does not follow recurring periods, the following features are not available:

-   **Repetition (Wiederholung)**
-   **Add more courses** (multi-phase trainings)

If you want to create a recurring training or a training consisting of multiple phases and courses, select **Period** instead.

## Add more courses

Instead of setting a training period for a single course, you can also create a **custom training** with multiple courses from the library:

Simply specify the training name, topic area, and training period. You can then create up to 20 phases and add different courses to your training.

Another option is to use **predefined trainings**. For some courses, we offer ready-made training programs based on IS-FOX’s 20+ years of expertise. These curated trainings follow three key principles:

-   **Expert-driven**: Built from extensive experience in awareness, compliance, audits, and security.
-   **Evolving content**: Trainings adapt to employees’ learning progress each year (“modular learning”).
-   **Set and forget**: Enrol users once, we take care of the rest.
