Credits

The credits functionality gives you a way to control the number of course and/or subscription enrollments for a group. It's useful in situations where groups have to pay for enrollments.  

When you require credits for enrollments, one credit is deducted from the group for each enrollment. For example, you might want to require the Consultants group to have credits in order to enroll its users in the Retail Merchandising course. 

When you require credits for a subscription variant, the group only needs credits to enroll its users in the subscription variant; no additional credits are needed to enroll their users in the variant's courses. 

For example, suppose you want to bundle several courses related to safety in the workplace, but don't want to charge the group for each course in the bundle. In this situation, you could create a subscription and variant for these courses, then assign the variant to the group and indicate that credits are required. 

Refer to Setting Up Credits for details on how to require credits for a group's enrollments.
