How to Update the Enrolment Form

Idea
Overview

With the SMS, your organisation can start accepting enrolments to your courses/training programs either through manual enrolment or by using the external enrolment form. The external enrolment form can be accessed via direct link or embedded in your website through an iFrame code. 

Before accepting enrolments, it is necessary to set up your enrolment form with the correct enrolment settings. This ensures a streamlined enrolment process, reducing the administrative work for your team and contributes to the student's overall enrolment experience. 

Before beginning this tutorial, make sure that your Program Instance is already created. To learn more how to create Program Instances, visit this tutorial: How to Set Up a Dynamic Program Instance 3.0
