Section 1: General Information

What is a Custom Path?

Custom Paths empower enterprise admins to curate tailored educational journeys for their organization's learners, fostering individualized growth and success.

Enterprise admins are now able to choose any course, learning path, labs, skill path or learning module and build a personalized learning journey for their team members.

Who will this be available to?

This is offered to the Admins of any organization that has purchased a Learn Enterprise subscription wherein they can create, assign, manage, and personalize Learning plans that are assigned to their members.

Admins can assign Custom Paths to members for as long as their Learn Enterprise subscription is active.

Should Admins wish to curate a learning plan, please reach out to our Sales team to purchase Learn Enterprise licenses.

Can a learner be invited to more than one Custom Paths?

Learn Enterprise Admins can invite their learners to as many Custom Paths as they wish so long as the members have an active Learn Enterprise subscription.

Will the progress be saved for the members after the Learn Enterprise expires?

Even if a Learn Enterprise subscription has expired or a Custom Path is deleted, the learner’s progress through the content will be retained.

Section 2: Custom Path Management

How to create a Custom Learning path?

Step 1: Click the “Create Path” button and add in the Path’s name and job role it targets. In the “Description” field, you can include additional details you want your learners to know about the training if you wish to do so.

Step 2: Add in the training content. You can include an entire course or learning path or go more granular and select specific modules. Once you are happy with your chosen content, hit the “Publish Changes” button.

NOTE: The list of added items can also be sorted. You can drag and then rearrange it based on the order you want your member to study. You also have the ability to remove it from the list by clicking on the X button.

Make sure that you are satisfied with items you added and the order before saving as you won’t be able to update it once you click “Publish Changes”. The ability to edit published paths will be coming soon.

Step 3: Assign the path to your learners. You can invite learners with an active Learn Enterprise Subscription. If the username is in RED, that means they do not have a Learn Enterprise subscription. After selecting members, you may click assign. If you are not ready to assign it yet you can click the “Decide later” button.

Are there any limits on the number of people that can be assigned a specific Custom Paths?

There is no minimum or maximum number of learners per Custom Path. An admin could create a Custom Path with zero learners in it, and decide later on to assign it to learners.

What is Focus Mode?

Focus mode is for modifying the learner's visibility.

This is a feature wherein if activated by Admins, learners can only view the assigned path to them. This can help the learners focus on finishing the Paths the Admins have created.

There are also features or menu that will not be visible upon enabling this function (ie. Explore and Buy More menu at the left side menu).

However, if the learner does have a personal or individual purchase prior to being invited to Learn Enterprise subscription or the Custom Path, they can still see and access those functionalities that were supposed to be hidden when the focus mode is active.

Section 3: How to get started as a learner

As a learner, where can I access the Custom Paths assigned to me?

As a regular learner, this is what the OffSec Library Menu look like:

However, if your Admin assigned a Custom Path to your account, upon logging in to the Platform you will see additional Menu: “My Learning” on the left side menu.

NOTE: The “My Learning” menu will only appear if you are invited to a Custom Paths.

Another indication that you have been assigned with a Custom Path is an email sent to your primary email address with a subject “You have been assigned a personalized learning path”. However, there is no need to accept an invitation as the Custom Path will automatically show in your account.

If it’s your first time studying in the OffSec Training Library, we highly recommend visiting the Course Start guide FAQ. To get started on your path, simply log in to your account. You will find your personalized learning path under “My Learning”.
