Before publishing a course in E-commerce, it is important to understand the different course modes (enrollment tracks) available and then select the right one as required.
There are four different course modes:
- Audit: Audit mode is the most basic enrollment mode as it does not provide learners a certificate by default, nor there is a course fee applicable.
- Verified: This enrollment code offers a verified certificate to the learners when they pass a course. Also, id verification is required and a course fee is charged during enrollment.
- Verified and Audit: This enrollment mode offers both the audit track and the verified track.
- Professional: Professional course modes require id verification, a course fee, and include a professional certificate. This mode does not provide the free enrollment track (audit mode).
