Training Categories provides the ability to group different sets of courses within your system. Training Categories can used for filtering and colour-coordinating scheduled courses in the aXcelerate Calendar or to group data for reporting purposes. This area of the system is also useful for Online Enrolments as courses that are displayed on your website can be filtered by Training Categories.
