Curriculums are a bundle of two or more courses put together and taken by a learner to achieve specific learning objectives.

Assigning a Curriculum for Individual Learners
If you have purchased training for yourself through our online store, here we will describe how to assign yourself a curriculum.
We offer four curriculums for which you can earn a curriculum certificate:
We DO NOT offer a way to preassign all of the courses to you at once for several reasons. Instead, you need to purchase training credits and then assign the courses for the curriculum you wish to take.
1. PURCHASE TRAINING CREDITS
First you need to assure you have enough credits to assign all of the courses that are a part of the curriculum you wish to purchase.
Cost of Core Tools Training
Cost of the Core Tools Courses depends on how many people are going to take the training and the courses you include in the curriculum. For an individual, cost for the 5 courses is $396. Quantity discounts can reduce the cost of the training for companies and work teams who purchase subscriptions. This will explain how credits are purchased that can then be used to assign training courses.
If you have already taken a course that is a part of the curriculum, you don’t need to retake that course.
2. ASSIGN COURSES
One reason that we do not preassign courses when you take a curriculum is once a course is assigned, you have 30 days to complete it. If all courses were preassigned, you would need to complete all of them in 30 days which is an unrealistic amount of training for most people to take in a month. Instead, we recommend that you assign each course, one at a time. Once you have completed the first course, then assign the second one and so on. This assures that you have 30 full days to complete each course. When you purchase credits, they are good for a full year so you are able to spread the training out to work around vacations, holidays and busy times in your job.
Because we have several different versions of many of our courses, we haven’t preassigned the courses to you. It is your job to select the courses that are most appropriate for your needs. For example, we have 5 different FMEA courses that would qualify as the FMEA course in the Core Tools Curriculum. Select the course that is best for your needs and it will serve as the FMEA course that goes toward achieving the Core Tools Training certificate. Here are the curriculums and the course options for each.
