Use

In this step, you create curriculum types. A curriculum type represents a structured training program that is designed to impart a coherent set of skills and knowledge, whose elements build upon one another.

Technically speaking, a curriculum type is a special brand of course type that contains other course types as elements. Curriculum types are used like course groups in a hierarchy of course groups.

The data you enter for the curriculum type is proposed as default values when you create or plan curricula. You can overwrite the defaults.

When you create a new curriculum type, you can use an existing one as a template from which to copy the new object. You can overwrite the default values proposed.

You can maintain information for the curriculum type using the following infotypes:

  • Delivery Method

    This infotype specifies the delivery method used to impart or deliver the course type (e.g. classroom training, curriculum). You must always use the delivery method Curriculum or a copy of it for curriculum types.

    Note

    You cannot edit this infotype. It contains the default delivery method for curricula, which you set in Customizing for the SAP Learning Solution under Training Management -> Course Preparation -> Delivery Methods -> Define Default Delivery Methods in the switch HRLSO DEFCF.

    For more information, refer to: Define Default Delivery Methods.

  • Description

    This infotype consists of the subtypes extended course type text, course content, and notes. The texts you store here for the curriculum type can be included in the course brochure.

  • Course type info

    You make the following specifications in this infotype:

    You can specify that the curriculum type is included in the course brochure. When you start the report to generate the course brochure, you can select the option Selected course types only. You make this selection when you set the indicator include in course brochure for the course type.

    Setting the convention flag has no impact on curriculum types.

    If you do not want curricula of this curriculum type displayed in the Learning Portal of the SAP Learning Solution, select the No Intranet indicator.

  • Relationships

    In Training Management, information and attributes of objects are stored in infotypes and relationships. You can store the following data for curriculum types in the Relationship infotype:

    • "Belongs to course group":
      • Here you specify the higher-level course group.
    • "Is organized by organizational unit"/"... company":
      • Here you specify the training provider.
    • "Has prerequisite course type":
      • Here you specify the course type that is specified as a prerequisite for participation. In the Procedure infotype (1030), you can specify whether a check is carried out for this relationship during booking. (By doing so you can override the general settings made in Customizing for Training Management under Day-to-Day Activities -> Booking -> Participant Checks for this specific curriculum type.)
    • "Has prerequisite qualification":
      • Here you specify the qualification that is specified as a prerequisite for participation. In the Procedure infotype (1030), you can specify whether a check is carried out for this relationship during booking. (By doing so you can override the general settings made in Customizing for Training Management under Day-to-Day Activities -> Booking -> Participant Checks for this specific curriculum type.)
    • "Imparts qualification":
      • Here you specify the qualification attained by participation in a curriculum of this type. This relationship is used for the check the system carries out for participation prerequisites and when transferring qualifications to participants during follow-up processing of the curriculum. You can also maintain the Procedure infotype for the curriculum type (see below).
    • "Is planned for job":
      • You use this relationship to specify the target group (represented by the object type Job) for which the curriculum type is intended. Information about the target group can be printed in the course brochure.
    • "Is mandatory for job":
      • The purpose of this relationship is to display notes and messages in the Learning Portal to inform job holders that a given curriculum type is mandatory for their job (if the curriculum type has not already been completed by the job holder).
  • Further Information

    On this tab page, you can maintain the following infotypes:

    • Procedure
      • In this infotype, you instruct the system how to react during checks carried out for curricula and participants for double bookings, double prebookings, participation prerequisites, and qualifications. In addition, you specify what follow-up actions are to be executed during follow-up processing.
      When you create the Procedure infotype for a curriculum, you override the general settings made in Customizing for Training Management under Participant Checks and under Control Data
    • Web Link
      • This infotype lets you link a curriculum type with URL addresses.

Requirements

You must have previously defined a delivery method for curricula and specified this as the default delivery method (in Customizing for the SAP Learning Solution under Training Management -> Course Preparation -> Delivery Methods -> Define Default Delivery Methods).

Standard settings

Activities

The following steps are involved in creating a curriculum type:

  • You create a curriculum type by maintaining and then saving the required infotypes for it.
  • You assign the curriculum type the course types that are to be completed for the curriculum (using the function Create Curriculum Type Element).

To create a curriculum type:

  1. On the Curriculum Type: Initial Screen, enter the validity start date of the object in the Validity field.
  2. Choose Create. The Curriculum Type: Data Screen appears.
  3. Enter a short and a long text for the curriculum type.
  4. Enter data as required for the new curriculum type. Do so by maintaining the relevant infotypes via the tab strips.
  5. Save your entries. The Editing Type dialog box appears.
  6. Select the editing type for the curriculum type elements. The following options are available:
    • Exit editing now
    • Create new curriculum type elements (continue -> Create curriculum type elements)
    • Copy curriculum type elements (when creating by copying, continue -> Copy curriculum type elements)

      If you have not exited editing, the Create Curriculum Type Elements screen appears.

  7. Add course types as curriculum type elements with and without sequence rules by choosing insert line (to remove course types, choose Remove element).
  8. Change the position of curriculum type elements with sequence rules by choosing one position forwards or one position back.
  9. Save your entries.
