This is the first step in a three-part process for setting up a repeated course on CE Zoom
Adding a Repeated course includes three key steps (⚠️ This article covers the 1st step):
1. Creating the Master Course, Skip to How to Add a Master Repeated Course
2. Set Up Presenter Templates, Skip to Adding Presenter Templates
3. Scheduling Courses, Skip to Scheduling Courses
What Is a Repeated Course?
-
It’s a course with identical content (title, description, objectives, presenter, etc.) that will be delivered on different dates/times throughout the year.
-
Ideal for monthly sessions, rotating webinars, lunch and learns, and more.
A Repeated Course is perfect for when you'll be offering the same course multiple times throughout the year. Rather than creating a new listing for each session, this feature allows you to manage all instances under one master setup—making promotion, presenter management, and registration seamless.
Presenter Options
Each session can be assigned to one or more presenters, and CE Zoom generates:
-
A personalized presenter link showing all the upcoming sessions they’re teaching
-
OR links to specific dates they’re assigned to
This makes it easy to share and promote without needing to recreate course details every time.
