Follow this guide if you want to display course pages to enrolled users. You can create course pages for self-paced training, instructor-led training templates and scheduled training events.
Prerequisites
Please note that course pages can only be used if you use the Employee Training Management app on a modern SharePoint site and the app ‘SharePoint|sapiens Modern User Interface’ version 1.3.32.0 or higher is installed.
If you have not yet installed the Employee Training Management app, please follow the installation guide below.

If you currently use the Employee Training Management app on a classic SharePoint site, read the following article to learn how to upgrade an existing Employee Training Management site to the new SharePoint experience.

Course Page column
If you open the view ‘All courses & Exams’ in the ‘For Organizers’ section, you should see the column ‘Course Page’.
If the column is not visible, edit the view and include the column. If the column is not available in the view settings, open site contents, click on ‘SharePoint|sapiens Employee Training Management’, click on ‘Change Settings’ and save the settings again. Now the column should be visible in the view settings. The column shows either a link that you can use to create a new course page, or if a page already exists, you can use the link to view the course page.
Course Page templates
Before creating course pages in the ‘All Courses & Exams’ view, we recommend that you review and update the course page templates to ensure that they meet your needs. You can find the course page templates in the ‘Site Pages’ library in the following folder:
sitepages/detailspages/sapiensCatalogETM/Self-paced Training/template.aspx
sitepages/detailspages/sapiensCatalogETM/Self-paced Training/template.aspx
It’s possible to create course page templates per list (Training Catalog and Scheduled Training Events) and content type (Training Event, Self-paced Training, Instructor-led Training Template, Online Exam and Classroom Exam Template). The folder structure is as following:
sitepages/ |---detailspages/ | |---sapiensCatalogETM/ | | |---Self-paced Training/ | | | |---template.aspx | | |---Instructor-led Training Template/ | | | |---template.aspx | | |---Online Exam/ | | | |---template.aspx ... | |---sapiensEventsETM/ | | |---Training Event/ | | | |---template.aspx ...
sitepages/ |---detailspages/ | |---sapiensCatalogETM/ | | |---Self-paced Training/ | | | |---template.aspx | | |---Instructor-led Training Template/ | | | |---template.aspx | | |---Online Exam/ | | | |---template.aspx ... | |---sapiensEventsETM/ | | |---Training Event/ | | | |---template.aspx ...
Open the page template.aspx, click on Edit and change the page template, for example the page banner background, the web parts visible, the properties you would like to show in Course Details, the Complete Course button, etc.
In case you want to use Microsoft 365 learning pathways to display your training content, read the following article.

Create course pages
Once the course page templates meet your needs, you can start creating your first course page.
To do this, open the view ‘All courses & Exams’ in the ‘For Organizers’ section, make sure you have a self-paced training created and click on ‘Create Course Page’.
This will create a new course page using the course page template from the content type folder in the site pages library (see above). Once the course page has been created, you can review the course page, add training content like videos, documents, images, instructions, etc., and publish the course page.
You also have the option to create course pages for instructor-led training templates to display for example upcoming sessions, course details, directions, etc.
Display course pages to learners
As soon as you start enrolling users into a self-paced training, either directly or via a curriculum, users can access the course page on the ‘For Learners’ landing page. You can also modify the web parts on the ‘For Learners’ page if you want to display additional columns.
In addition, you can also create a flow using Power Automate to notify users once a course is assigned to them. Learn how to send an email to self-paced training
If users click on the course page link, they can go through the learning modules you provided, and, once they are done, click on the ‘Complete Course’ button to update their achievement. After completing a course, the course disappears from the ‘Current self-paced training’ view on the ‘For Learners’ landing page.
