Use case  

You're offering an Advanced CRM Assessment to evaluate learners' product knowledge. Before learners can attempt it, they must first complete a CRM Fundamentals Assessment. By adding the fundamentals assessment as a prerequisite, only learners who have completed the required knowledge can enroll in the advanced assessment.

Before you begin  

• Your role must have permission to manage assessments.

• The prerequisite assessment or SCORM course must already exist in your academy.

• You can add up to five prerequisites to an assessment.

Note: A prerequisite is considered complete based on its configured completion criteria. Depending on the assessment settings, learners may need to meet specific score, attempt, or other completion requirements before they can register for the dependent assessment.

Add prerequisite assessments  

1. Navigate to Products > Assessments.

2. Open the assessment you want to configure.

3. Click the Prerequisites tab.

4. Click Add prerequisite.

5. Search for and select the assessment or SCORM course you want to add. Click Add.

6. Repeat the process to add additional prerequisite assessments, if required.

7. Click Save.

The selected assessments are added as prerequisites for the assessment.

Note: TrainerCentral prevents direct circular dependency conflicts between assessments. For example, if Assessment A requires Assessment B, Assessment B can't be configured to require Assessment A.

View and manage prerequisite assessments  

Open the Prerequisites tab to view all prerequisite assessments configured for the assessment.

For each prerequisite assessment, you can view the:

• Assessment name

• Status

• Added on date

You can also:

• Search for a prerequisite assessment by name

• View the total number of configured prerequisites

• Select one or more prerequisite assessments for deletion

Draft prerequisite assessments aren't visible to learners until they're published.

Delete prerequisite assessments  

1. Open the assessment.

2. Navigate to the Prerequisites tab.

3. Select the prerequisite assessments you want to remove.

4. Click Delete.

5. Confirm the deletion.

Once removed, learners no longer need to pass the deleted prerequisite assessment before enrolling in the assessment.

How prerequisites work for learners  

When a learner attempts to register for an assessment with prerequisites:

1. The learner clicks Register on the assessment.

2. If they haven't met the completion criteria for all prerequisite assessments, a list of the incomplete prerequisite assessments is displayed.

3. The learner can click any prerequisite assessment in the list to open and complete it.

4. After meeting the completion criteria for all prerequisite assessments, the learner is automatically returned to the original assessment.

5. The learner can then complete their registration.

A prerequisite assessment is considered complete based on its configured completion criteria. Prerequisites only determine whether learners can enroll in an assessment. They don't affect assessment completion, grading, or certificate issuance.

Note:

• Learners must complete all prerequisites before they can enroll.

• An assessment can't be added as its own prerequisite.

• The same prerequisite can't be added more than once to the same assessment.

• Editing a prerequisite assessment or SCORM course automatically updates those changes wherever it's referenced in your academy.

• Deleting a prerequisite assessment or SCORM course automatically removes it from every prerequisite list where it's been added.

• Removing a prerequisite assessment immediately removes the enrollment restriction for learners.
