Some courses on eolas Campus may have prerequisites to ensure you are fully prepared to engage with the content. Understanding these requirements helps you choose the right courses and set yourself up for success. Here is what you need to know.


What Are Course Prerequisites?
Prerequisites are specific knowledge, skills, or courses you need to complete before enrolling in a particular course. They ensure that learners have the foundational understanding required to follow and benefit from the course material.


How to Check for Prerequisites

  1. Course Overview Page

    • Open the course you are interested in and review the “Prerequisites” section (if applicable).
    • This section outlines any recommended or mandatory requirements.
  2. Skill Level Indicators

    • Many courses are labeled with skill levels, such as Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced. Ensure your current knowledge aligns with the indicated level.
  3. Related Courses or Certifications

    • If a prerequisite includes completing another course on eolas Campus, the platform will often provide a direct link to the required course.


Do You Need to Meet Prerequisites to Enroll?

  • In most cases, meeting prerequisites is strongly recommended for your benefit, but not always mandatory.
  • Some courses may enforce prerequisites for enrollment, meaning you will need to complete the listed requirements first.


What to Do If You Lack Prerequisites

  • Complete Recommended Courses: Consider taking a foundational course to build the necessary skills before enrolling.
  • Self-Assessment: Review the course description and decide if your current knowledge or experience is sufficient.
  • Contact the Instructor: Use the course discussion forum or Support Portal to ask the instructor if the prerequisites are flexible.
