Allow end user self registration in programs.
Formerly tracked under Bugzilla 14144.
Note: you can work around this by using learning plans (a user assigning a program to their learning plan will be able to access it)

Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
This feature / enhancement request (tracked under TL-6198; formerly Bugzilla ID 14144) has been deemed high priority and is under consideration for development by Totara core.
This does not indicate a delivery commitment. Development of the functionality is subject to further prioritization and resource availability.
Development priorities are reviewed regularly. If you wish to escalate your market need for this functionality, please contact your Totara Channel Partner Manager.
Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
8 years in the making? I'm actually shocked this isn't standard on Totara. A learning organisation needs to offer programs which people can recommend and self-enrol in. Please add me to the pluses for this!
Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
+ from Xtractor for self-enrolment to programs - and certifications.
From what we've understood about the improved course catalog for Totara 9, where "course bundles" will appear on the same page as courses, it would be more natural for learners to be allowed to self-enrol for specified bundles.

Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
We would definitely welcome this as we have ad-hoc groups of staff that need to be on a certification. We cannot pin down using audiences, so we could pass the responsibility to them to enrol themselves using this functionality, Rob
Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
We also have a client that needs this, and multiple clients who have requested it. The problem with Learning Plans is that Totara treats learning assigned via a Learning Plan differently from assigned or self-enrolled learning. Most clients do not turn on learning Plans, but still need a way for users to self enroll in a group of courses with a prescribed order in which the courses must be consumed.
Thanks!

Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
Totally would support this feature. We are currently using learning plans for staff to self enrol - however this is difficult for many to understand (we have 20,000 users of varying computer literacy so need things as easy as possible) - and having an enrolment function from the course/programme directory would be much more straightforward. Is anyone aware if this is being progressed at all

Hi Neil
There has been a spec written and a contribution made by a partner on this. This has been reviewed by Totara and there are some issues that need addressing. The best overall approach to how course/program enrolments work should be taken - currently program and course enrolments are quite different and it would be good to consolidate these.
I will try and get some more information on the progress of this.
regards
Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
Hi there,
Has there been any update on this? We have a client requesting this feature as well and wanted to show our support for implementing this.
Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
Hi Stuart,
There hasn't been any work on this recently.
One workaround you could use is a course with a quiz in it. The quiz has a question: Do you want to enroll in program X?
You could create an audience using the course completion rule which could enroll Learners into the program. Obviously this would only happen on cron, but its a feasible option.
cheers,
George.
Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
This is how our safety team have implemented a workaround. A direct way for learning to enrol on programs would get our vote as much more straightforward.

Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
When you create a certification, you can choose to let this certification appear in the catalogue.
However, it is not possible to add enrolment methods to certifications (such as self enrolment or an approval flow). So users can see the program/certification in the catalogue, but are not able to enrol or request enrolment.
Our customer would like to give the user the possible to request enrolment in a specific certification. Once the admin (e.g.) confirms this request, they should be given access to the certification.

Big plus one from us! This is something we would use a lot. +1

Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
Plus one from us also.
Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
+1 from us and our partners
Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
+1 from DJPR for this feature.
Any updates on when this feature would be developed and be available?
Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
For our insurance customers, the tests to be performed in relation to individual products are repeated. This can only be handled properly with certificates. At the same time, they independently choose which products they want to include. It is unmanageable with training plans and dynamic groups. That would be very important.
Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
+1 from our organisation
We have to use something similar to the workaround described in this post. As the number of programs that use self-enrollment is growing, the workaround creates significant friction.
Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
👍 Completely needed from our viewpoint.
Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
Assuming this still hasn't progressed? If not, adding another 👍 to this requirement.
Re: TL-6198 - allow program self registration
Such a function would be very important.
