Upload course trainers in bulk

Hi

We have previously used site wide trainer permissions but this causes issues for trainers when they need to be learners on some courses.

We have around 100 trainers who all train around 20 courses so adding them to the courses they train individually is tricky. Is there any way I can CSV upload trainers to courses?


Thanks

Anthony

Hi Anthony,

You can upload a CSV to Users>Accounts>Upload Users with the following column headings: username,course1,role1. For the course enter the course short name and for the role enter the role short name. To enrol to multiple courses use new column headings e.g. course2,role2 etc.

For example your CSV file may look like:

username course1 role1 course2role2 
jjones hs101 teacher hs102 teacher

When you upload you have an option to select "Upload type", choose "Update existing users only" and click upload.

Hope that helps.

Ian

Perfect! Thanks Ian

We use this method to add people to set audiences so I don't know why I didn't think of that! :-)
