# Create and Assign Programs

## 📌 Overview

Programs in Quinn allow you to organize multiple [courses](/help/new-course-creator) into a single structured learning path. This helps guide learners through progressive training sequences and makes it easy to [assign](/help/assign-a-course) bundled learning experiences to [teams](/help/setting-up-groups) or [individuals](/help/add-members).

### Step 1: Create a Program

- Go to the **Programs** page from the top menu.

- Click **Create Program**.

- Enter a program name.

- From the dropdown list, select the courses you want to include.

- Click **Create Program** to save.

### Step 2: Assign a Program

Assigning a program works the same as assigning a single course.

You can assign it to:

- [Individual members](/help/add-members) using the **Invite by Email** tab.

- [Groups](/help/setting-up-groups) using the **Assign by Group Name** tab.

### Step 3: Manage or Share the Program

Use the options menu to:

- Generate an [LMS link or SCORM package](/help/scorm-link-for-lms) for your program.

- Delete the program if it's no longer needed.

### Step 4: View and Edit Program Details

Click into any program to open its detail view.

From here, you can:

- Reorder the courses.

- Add or remove courses.

- Manage enrolled members.

### Add Courses to a Program from the Courses Page

You can add multiple courses to a program at once without opening each program individually.

#### Step 1: Select Multiple Courses

Go to the **Courses** page and click **Select** in the top-left of the course list. Click the checkboxes for the courses you want to add.

#### Step 2: Choose Add to Program

Once at least one course is selected, a bulk action bar appears. Click **Add to Program**.

#### Step 3: Choose the Program

In the modal, the **Existing program** tab is selected by default. Click the search field to see your programs, then select the one you want.

💡 Tip: You can also create a new program on the fly by switching to the **New program** tab and entering a name.

#### Step 4: Add the Courses

Click **Add to Program** to save your changes. The selected courses are added to the program.

### Allow Out-of-Order Course Taking

By default, learners must complete a program's courses in sequence — each course unlocks the next. You can turn this off to let learners take the courses in any order. A badge next to the program name shows **In order** or **Any order** so you can see the current setting at a glance.

#### Step 1: Open Progression Settings

Open the program and click **Settings** in the top-right to open its **Progression Settings** page.

#### Step 2: Turn On the Toggle

Switch on **Allow Out-of-Order Course Taking**, then click **Save Settings**. Learners can now start any course in the program in any order. Leave it off if learners must finish each course before the next one unlocks.

💡 Tip: When courses are taken in order, you can also require a passing score before the next one unlocks — see [Score-Gated Course Progression](/help/score-gated-course-progression), or release the courses on a schedule with [Schedule Program Course Releases](/help/program-course-schedule).

## 💡 Tips

- Arrange courses in logical order to create a smooth learning path.

- Use programs to combine related courses (e.g., "Technician Onboarding" or "Sales Mastery Series").

- You can update a program at any time—changes automatically apply for all assigned members.
