Get a place on a course

When you're done, you have a place on the course and can start it.

Who this is for: students.

Every course has a page with what's inside and a Take this course box. What the box offers depends on how the teacher lets people join.

You were given a place

If your teacher added you, you may have an email: "You're invited to" the course, with a link. Open the course's page, Sign in to start with that email address, then click Start the course. Your courses are also under My courses once you sign in.

Ask for a place

On some courses, you ask and the teacher decides.

1. Open the course's page and sign in.
2. Click Ask for a place.

The page then says you asked, and the course shows under My courses as Asked to join. When the teacher says yes, we email you a link to the course. If they say no, you don't get an email, and the course page offers Ask for a place again.

Join with a course code

If your teacher gave you a course code, open the course's page, sign in, type the code and click Join the course.

What the box can also say

• "Places on this course come from" the Academy: you need a place from the teacher. Ask them for one.
• "This course is part of your learning path. It opens when you finish" another course: finish that one first. See My courses and learning paths.
• "Your place on this course has ended": contact the teacher if you think it's a mistake.
