# Add courses to a program

When [creating a program](/19/docs/create-a-program), you will need to [add the content](/19/docs/adding-program-content) you want learners to complete.

To add sets of courses to your program, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the program and select the **Content** tab.
2. Click **Add course set** (below any existing course sets).
3. Complete the [course set settings](/19/docs/program-course-set-settings).
4. Click the plus icon.
5. Use the **Browse all** tab to find the courses you wish to add to the course set. You can use the search and filter options to narrow down the courses displayed. Tick the checkbox for each course you wish to add, then click **Add**. You can review which courses you have already selected on the **Selected** tab.
6. When you've finished configuring the course set, click **Save**.

You can edit a course set by clicking the icon of three dots (![three_dots(1)](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/three_dots(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T15%3A59%3A43Z&se=2026-11-01T16%3A59%3A43Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=3N5GjwMLkyji0qITO%2BhY4eEpKUvyJGJoqGkqDKKN09U%3D)) and selecting **Edit**. While editing a course set, all other course sets will be in **View** mode. While editing a course set you can drag and drop course cards to reorder them, or click the **X** icon to remove a course from the course set.

You can reorder the course sets in a program by clicking on the icon of three dots (![three_dots(1)](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/three_dots(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T15%3A59%3A43Z&se=2026-11-01T16%3A59%3A43Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=3N5GjwMLkyji0qITO%2BhY4eEpKUvyJGJoqGkqDKKN09U%3D)) for a set and selecting **Move up** or **Move down**. Note that the **then**, **or** and **and** rules between course sets will move with the course set above them, so you may need to reconfigure these rules after reordering your course sets.
