Course categories organize courses for participants of CNM Cert. The default course category on CNM Cert is "Miscellaneous" (although this can be renamed). A Course creator, Administrator or Manager can put all courses in the Miscellaneous category. However, teachers and students will find it easier to find their classes if courses are organised in descriptive categories.
