Catalogues allow you to group related courses, assessments and learning tools together for specific groups or areas of your business.
When you create a catalogue you can organise it into folders. For example, you may put all the courses required for a group of users in a catalogue, then organise them into an 'IT Training' folder, a 'Personal Development' folder and a 'Financial Training' folder. This makes it much easier for the users in the group to follow the training course set for them, rather than having to look at long lists of various types of training.
