Create a New Session

Use this process to create and enter details of a new Instructor Led Training (ILT) session for a specific course.

Note: ILT Course records contain many attributes that are attributes of a course's sessions (such as cost, facility, classroom, and enrollment rules). These are set at the course level as defaults for convenience, representing the most common values that are set in sessions. When a new ILT session is created, those values from the parent course record are auto-populated into the new session record. All inherited values can be overridden at the session level.
