The Samelane platform allows you to assign courses to users in several ways.

In the course assignment form, you can enter users’ data on who will be assigned the course or select the appropriate department. In addition, it is possible to set the date of completion of the chosen course and automatically assign it to the new members of the department.

You can confirm the course assignment with the ***Approve*** button. Then, the system will send information about the assigned course to users' email addresses.
