Adding a Course
You can add courses to your CourseCo effortlessly. Also, provide course details such as title, level, summary, description, etc., so that your customers get more information on the courses they are looking for.
When you add a course using this option the course will be added once. The course will display on the website only when an upcoming schedule is linked and published. You can also add your marketing material, sales videos, and links to your brochures.

Tips
Do not change the font / font size - this is decided in your theme when your platform was configured
Using ‘Heading 1, Heading 2, Normal text…’ to organise your content.
Heading 1 - this is used for main heading text, use 'Normal' when adding specific content.
When using normal, we suggest using bold, italic, underline also.
Don’t use bold, italic, underline for heading 1, 2..etc as this has its own style already i.e. it might already be bold and underlined.
The Summary you provide here will be displayed on the Course-List page and the Banner of the course details.
