The self enrolment enrolment method allows users to enrol on a course of their own choice, either directly or with a password if required.

You can allow users to self enrol on a course by following these steps:

Ensure that the self enrolment plugin is enabled at the site level.
Navigate to the course.
From Course administration go to Users > Enrolment method.
From the Add method dropdown menu select the option Self enrolment.
Complete the settings as desired.
Click the Add method button.

By default this enrolment method will allow users to enrol on a course as a Learner, but you can also use this method to allow users to enrol as other roles, such as Trainer. To do this, set the Default assigned role to the desired role. On each course you can set up as many self enrolment methods depending on how many roles you need.
