Hi Craig,
Many thanks for your response, it's much appreciated. Yes the criteria for completing the course has recently changed. Previously it was just that the staff members would need to attend a Seminar. The new course completion requirements are that the delegates need to be assessed during this seminar, it's for this reason that we want to introduce the Assignment into the course.
We only want to assess delegates who have attended recently though, not the 800+ who have attended over the last couple of years. I've had a play around within Grade Administration, if this is set to Exclude for the Assignment will this forgo the need for the 800+ current staff members enrolled to have their Assignment graded?
