Questions to ask before choosing
Use the actual course listing and your work context to decide.
How do I check prerequisites?
Read the current course listing. If prerequisites are unclear, ask the catalog or learning support contact identified by your organization before enrolling.
Which format should I choose?
Consider whether the skill is best learned through independent review, live discussion, or practice with feedback. Then verify that the actual course offers that format.
Should I discuss a course with my manager?
A discussion can help connect the course to a work goal, timing, and an opportunity to apply the learning. Follow your organization's normal process.
What if I cannot find a suitable course?
Describe the skill you need and the task it supports in a training request. A specific goal is more useful than naming a course that may not be available.
