      How to Set Course Modes?

      Overview

      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: 

      1. 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. 
      2. 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.
      3. Verified and Audit: This enrollment mode offers both the audit track and the verified track. 
      4. 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).
