- How to Send Someone a Link to a Course Description Within the Online Catalog
- How do I send my manager/colleague a link to a specific course description?
Because of the framework of the Symantec Education online course catalog it is not possible to copy the url of a course description page to send to someone else to view it. However, you can create a direct link to a course description to bookmark or to send to someone else by following these steps:
- From the Symantec Training home page click on View Course Catalog.
- On the Course Catalog's main page, click on a product name to view the product's course list, such as "Backup Exec"
- You will see a list of available course titles for the selected product. Beside each title is a course ID (what's this?). Copy the course ID of the course title you would like to send to someone.
- Paste the course ID into the area indicated by "XXXXXX" within this url:
https://education.symantec.com/Saba/Web/sena/goto/SYMCourseDetail?courseNo=XXXXXX¤cy=USD&locale=en_US For example:
https://education.symantec.com/Saba/Web/sena/goto/SYMCourseDetail?courseNo=DP1382¤cy=USD&locale=en_US would link to the course description for Upgrading Symantec Backup Exec 11d to 12. - From this course description page you or your manager/colleague can click on the "Schedule" button at the bottom right of the page to view course availability, price, and other details; and to register online for the course.
