# Add course sets

Once you've [created a program](/totara-20/docs/create-a-program-) and configured the program requirements, next is to add a course, or courses to the course set. From the same **Requirements** tab:

1. Click **Add course set**.
2. Complete the [course set settings](/totara-20/docs/program-course-set-settings-1) as required.
3. Click the plus icon (![](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/image-1YC73BMU.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T16%3A22%3A48Z&se=2026-10-29T17%3A22%3A48Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Kf6%2B4Yb9kpz12B3K3d%2FcFg%2BwUGsWr111aSAiGN6rTEI%3D)) .
4. 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.
5. When you've finished configuring the course set, click **Save**.

To add other sets of courses to your **Course sets,** click **Add course set** below the current Course set(s) then repeat steps 2 - 5 as above.

### Logic between course sets

If you have more than one course set you can define the logic between each course set the learner follows within that path.

![Program requirements page showing a section with required courses and their associated tiles.](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/image-ZKXZ0CTJ.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T16%3A22%3A48Z&se=2026-10-29T17%3A22%3A48Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Kf6%2B4Yb9kpz12B3K3d%2FcFg%2BwUGsWr111aSAiGN6rTEI%3D)

You can select the logic between each course set including:

| Logic | Description | Example (based on above image) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Then | The learner needs to complete the course set above the logic setting before being able to complete the course set below the logic setting. | The learner must complete the courses in the **Knowing the organisation** set, then they can complete the next set **HR Policies**. |
| Or | The learner can complete either of the course sets. | The learner can complete either **Knowing the organisation** or **HR Policies** as part of this course path. |
| And | The learner needs to complete the courses in both course sets, but can do so in any order. | - |

> [!NOTE]
> Note: You can set different logic between course sets if you have three or more course sets.
> 
> Example: Learner needs to complete course set 1 and course set 2, but can do so in any order, so use **And** between course set 1 and 2.
> 
> Once course set 1 and course set 2 are complete they must complete course set 3, so set the logic between course set 2 and course set 3 as **Then**.

You can edit a **Course set** by clicking the three dots (![](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/image-GMXN13NI.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T16%3A22%3A48Z&se=2026-10-29T17%3A22%3A48Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Kf6%2B4Yb9kpz12B3K3d%2FcFg%2BwUGsWr111aSAiGN6rTEI%3D)) for the course set you want to edit and select **Edit**. Make the relevant changes and select **Save**.![Requirements section showing a course group with option menus for editing or reordering.](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/image-KJ8DHS2Q.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T16%3A22%3A48Z&se=2026-10-29T17%3A22%3A48Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Kf6%2B4Yb9kpz12B3K3d%2FcFg%2BwUGsWr111aSAiGN6rTEI%3D)

Once you have finished setting up your **Requirements** and adding your **Course set(s)**, click **Overview** towards the top left of the page to return to the main **Requirements tab** page.
