Clicking on a course title takes you to its dedicated detail page...

This page provides full details on the course, including its category, duration, status, and availability in the Explore catalogue, as well as whether the certificate is enabled.

All assigned users are listed, and you have the option to filter the assigned users, send a reminder email to the assigned users to complete the course, download the list of assigned users, and assign new users to the course.

The Assigned users section gives you a granular view of who is taking the courses.

Assignment Source: Clearly shows if the course was ‘Assigned by HR/Admin’ or ‘Self-Assigned’ by the employee.

Status Indicators: See progress in real-time: Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Overdue, or Withdrawn

You also have the ability to download a full list of assigned users for each course to Excel, and assign new users to the course by clicking the options on each course's details page...

When you assign your people to a course, they will be sent an email letting them know that they have a new course to complete.

The course will also appear as a pane in their My Learning page, displayed as not started...

Individual Reminders: From the assigned users section, select the message icon under the action header next to the employee's name...

Bulk Reminders (New): For courses with multiple people behind deadline, you can send reminders to everyone who needs it at once. Click the Reminder button on the course details page, at the top of the assigned users list...

Edit Due Date: You can also edit the due date of any course by clicking the edit icon under the actions header...

Your people are your greatest strength. That's why we’ve added a dedicated ‘My Learning’ section to the left-hand navigation, putting them in control of their development.

This is the employee's central view for managing their training.

Courses are organised by status: Not Started, In Progress or Overdue.

They can launch any course simply by clicking the title...

If a course awards a certificate, they can download it directly from here by clicking the blue download certificate button at the bottom of the page...

This is a great feature for encouraging proactive development.

Selected courses include a text file and an audio resource to enhance accessibility and learning flexibility. When these materials are available, they will be found in the blue navigation bar at the bottom of the course player.

To access them, look for the Resource Library, indicated by the book icon. Click the icon to access your downloadable course materials, which include:

The Learning record tab in "My Learning" provides a full list of all courses that they have been assigned or assigned to themselves in the My learning list.

This includes the course status, the assignment details (assigned or self-assigned) and the due date.

The full list can also be downloaded to Excel by pressing the download button.

My learning course list can be filtered by pressing the filter button

Managing employee training should be a seamless part of your workflow, not a logistical challenge. We are excited to introduce Playlists, a powerful enhancement to your Breathe Learn module designed to help you curate intentional, structured training paths for your team.

Rather than assigning individual, disconnected courses, you can now group related topics into cohesive "learning journeys" that provide clear roadmaps for success.

You can build a playlist by selecting courses first or by starting with a blank template.

Method A: Starting from the Course Library

STEP 1. Navigate to your Course Library tab.

STEP 2. Select the courses you wish to include by ticking the boxes next to each title.

STEP 3. Click the Create Playlist button at the top of the list.

Method B: Starting from the Create Menu option

STEP 1. Go directly to the Playlist Library and select Create.

STEP 2. Use the 'Add a course' field in the Selected courses area to search for and add courses by name.

If you change your mind, use the dustbin icon next to any course to remove it from the list.

You can reorder the playlist by dragging and dropping the courses using the 3 lines on the left-hand side.

Once your courses are selected, you can tailor the playlist to suit your employees' needs.

STEP 1. Basic Information: Provide a clear title and a helpful description so learners understand the goal of the journey

STEP 2. Categorisation: Select a category from the dropdown menu (e.g., Personal Development or Customer Service) to keep your library organised

STEP 3. Configuration: Use the toggles to set your preferences:

Your new learning journeys are housed in the Playlist Library tab, which offers several management tools.

Finding Content: Use the filter button locate playlists by title, category or status.

Assigning Users: Select a playlist to bulk-assign it to your people in seconds, or assign users individually.

The Playlist page: Click the playlist name to open up the unique playlist page.

Reviewing History: Press the Versions button on the playlist page to see an in-depth history of changes made to that playlist, which is vital for auditing.

Editing Settings: Use the Configure button to update descriptions or toggles.

For your team, the experience remains clear and user-friendly.

Employees navigate to My Learning, where they will see a dedicated Assigned Playlists section.

Clicking a playlist tile reveals their personalised roadmap.

If sequential order is enabled, the system will lock future courses until the previous ones are completed.

Throughout the journey, employees can track their progress, view due dates, and monitor their status at any time.

Which courses are available for employees to self-enrol in?

All courses are available in the Explore Catalogue by default, but you have full control. You can easily switch this option off via the Configure section of any individual course if it shouldn't be self-assigned.

Can employees withdraw from any course they've been assigned?

No, they can only withdraw from courses they self-assigned through the Explore Catalogue. They do not have the option to withdraw from a course that was directly assigned to them by an HR/Admin user.

Are these courses CIPD-accredited?

Unfortunately, these courses are not CIPD accredited.

Will the new courses be accessible? Such as have VO or subtitles?

Unfortunately, the new courses will not contain VO's or subtitles; however, this is something we have identified would be beneficial to our users, and we will be looking into this in the future.

Can Admins and HR users see what learning has been completed by an employee?

Yes, this can be viewed on a person's profile by selecting Learn; however, they won't currently be able to access the full learning record in My Learning for an employee.

Can Line Managers see what learning has been completed by an employee?

No, unfortunately, at present, they are unable to see this; however, there are plans to allow this in future updates to learn.

How many courses are there, and where can I see the full list?

There are over 100 courses available, in 8 categories. You can view the full list by clicking on Learn in your left-hand navigation menu...

I am a customer using the free version of Learn. What features do I have access to?

You have access to 8 foundational free courses...

Do you know if I can create my own courses within the Learn module?

Unfortunately, Breathe Learn does not allow for file uploads and therefore you are unable to add separate training courses to the library; however, if you are looking for this functionality, we can offer you a seamless Integration with ELMO Learning. You can do everything in Breathe and so much more, including uploading and customising your course library.

Can you preview the courses?

Yes, you can view Learn courses before purchasing by pressing the 'eye' icon to the right of the relevant course.

Please note - Whilst you can view the course, any progress or results will not be able to be saved until the module has been activated in your account.

Will you be adding any more courses?

Yes, we plan to continually add to our library of courses in Learn. We will let you know when new courses are added.

Can I brand the Learn module for my organisation?

The courses are created and managed by us at Breathe, so unfortunately, there isn't an option to add your own branding.

Do I need to manually add new starters to the course audience as they join the company?

Yes, you are required to assign courses to new starters, even if you initially selected "Everyone" when assigning the course to your current team members.

Click here for the full course assignment details.

How does the assessment scoring work?

In Breathe Learn quizzes, the tick (✔️) and X (❌) indicators serve as visual feedback to help learners evaluate their responses. These indicators are designed to indicate whether each chosen option in a quiz is correct or incorrect, providing valuable insight during the quiz and in the review phase that follows.

As an example, this screenshot shows this question answered incorrectly...
