A Cert cohort is a site wide or category wide group. The main purpose of a cohort is to enable all members of the group to be easily enrolled in a course. This can be done using Cohort Sync - synchronizes cohort membership with course enrollment or through manual enrollment of a cohort into a course.

Creating a cohort

To create a cohort you need appropriate permission, an administrator can add a cohort:

 Administration > Site administration > Users > Accounts > Cohorts 
  • Click "Add button". You can choose either to avail your cohort site-wide or in a specific category.
  • Make sure the "Visible" link is checked to enable teachers use cohorts in their courses.
  • After completing the required details click save button.
  • Click assign link next to the cohort name.
  • Select potential users from the list then click the Add button.

Add bulk users into a cohort

  • From the:
Administration > Site administration > Users > Accounts > Bulk user actions



  • Set a filter to find appropriate users.
  • Add users from the available list to the selected list.



  • Choose 'Add to cohort' with selected users.

Enrolling cohort in a course

You can enroll a cohort in a course using two methods;

  1. Cohort sync
  2. Manual enrollment of the cohort

Cohort Sync Using cohort sync, whenever a user is added to a cohort that is already enrolled into a course, he/she is automatically enrolled into the course. If a user is removed from a cohort enrolled to a course he/she is removed from the cohort as well.

Enabling Cohort sync This option is enable by the administrator using:

Site administration > Plugins > Enrollments > Manage enroll plugins.



Enrolling a cohort in a course Use the following procedure to enroll a cohort into a course;

  • Start by creating a cohort either at the site level or category level:
Course administration > Enrolment methods > "Cohort sync" -  in the dropdown menu.



  • Choose the required cohort and then click the "Add method" button.

Manual enrollment of a cohort To manually enroll users of a cohort into a course.

  • Go to Course:
Administration > Enrolled users
  • Click the "Enroll users" button and then 'Browse cohorts'
  • Select a cohort then click the 'Finish enrolling users' button.
