Learn how to use the Training Catalog in Adobe Connect to organize, publish, and manage training content for learner self-enrollment.

The Training Catalog in Adobe Connect is a powerful tool that allows training managers to organize and publish courses, curriculums, and virtual classrooms for learner self-enrollment. It serves as a centralized hub for organizing and presenting training content to learners.

Key benefits

Further, the Training Catalog allows training managers to:

Organize courses and curriculums in a structured manner

Create curriculums and provide supplemental information to learners

Open the Training Catalog

For example, you could create folders that represent different departments (Accounting, Human Resources, Facilities, and so on) or different types of training (Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced, and so on).

Select the Training tab in Adobe Connect Central.
Select Training Catalog.
Select New Folder to begin creating folders and organizing the catalog. You can create folders within folders to set up a hierarchy.

Select the Training tab in Adobe Connect Central.
Select the course/curriculum that you want to add to the Training Catalog.

Note

If you are sending a notification email message to learners about a curriculum and supplemental information for the curriculum can be found in the Training Catalog, simply edit the notification text to include a link to the Training Catalog. This gives learners all the information they need in one email message.

Inform learners about the Training Catalog using one of the following methods:

Inform them that a new Training Catalog tab is now on their Adobe Connect home page.
Send an email message containing a link to the Training Catalog.
Place a link to the Training Catalog on your web portal.

Adobe Connect allows administrators to control access and manage Training Catalogs by assigning permissions to different user groups. Configuring these permissions ensures that only authorized users can view, publish, or manage training content within a catalog.

Select the Training tab in Adobe Connect Central.
Select Training Catalog.
Select Set Permissions.
Select users or groups to grant permissions and select Add.
