A Coordinator can create a new batch and add learners to it or he can add learners to an existing batch.

Please note that any role cannot invite new people to an existing batch if the batch has started. New people can be invited to take the course before the commencement of the batch.

In this article, you will see the "Invite new people" option because the batch has not started yet.

In order to add learners to a batch, you can:

1. Click on "Courses" in the side-navigation bar.

2. Select "Batches".

3. Click on the batch to which learners are to be added.

4. Once done, you can click on the "Add Learner" button as shown in the screenshot below.

Here, you can add the learners using the following options.

• Invite new people - You can invite new people to sign up for a course and they will receive an auto generated email to register. These invitees will go through the entire enrollment flow - including setting up their own user accounts and paying for the course (if it is a paid course).  

In order to invite new people, you can:

1. Enter the email addresses in the box.

2. Click on "Invite new people"

• Assign to existing people - Choose from existing learners on the platform. These learners  are automatically assigned to course without needing to go through the enrollment flow and without payment. 

1. You can search for learners in the search box. The drop down menu will show you a list of all learners already on the platform.
2. Once you select learners you want to assign the course to, you can choose to send them emails notifying them about being added to the course by checking the option.
3. Click on “Assign User” to assign the course to these learners.
