Annual Refresher on a Learning Path

Originally asked by a community member in the Litmos Community forum on 24 July 2026.

Hi Everyone, I am really struggling with this one. We have created a learning path that every new starter has and must complete 11 courses to complete. My struggle is that we then need to do an annual refresher on these same 11 courses every year and I want this to occur when it's a quieter time for the business i.e. December 2026. I have played around with the course settings so many times to trigger this that I have now found my self in a right mess. How do you all complete annual refreshers for courses?

    Hi Amy,

    We're a bit unique at my organization because we have a really long timeline for our employees to complete our compliance courses, so the reset timeline on the compliance configuration does not work for us.

    Here's what I've found that does work for us with our compliance configuration:

    1) We don't use Learning Paths. We have so many different versions of compliance training on a particular topic, using Learning Paths just added an additional administrative layer we don't want to worry about on top of already really complex assignment rules.

    2) Assignment rules always map to a team, so we can check that the rules are working like we need them to before we add in the course assignments to the team.

    3) We use a fresh course for each annual cycle and then configure a due date timeline (vs. compliance config) on each course. This process makes reporting very clean and makes it clear to our employees what annual cycle the course is associated with.

    It took us a while to get to this point, but we're in our 3rd year of compliance training and things are overall running smoothly. If your department has the budget, you may want to purchase a few consulting hours with Litmos Professional Services. After having a lot of struggles during year 1 of our compliance launch in Litmos, Prof. Services really helped us get a good process down and get us to where we are now.

    I am having the same issue and have not figured out how to resolve it.

    Hi,

    I've not directly tested this, but I think this setting may work for you inside the 'Compliance' settings on the course page. The way I read this is:

    • Completion is valid until January 1st of the following year (i.e. January 2027).
    • 30 days before January 1st, move the course back into their to-do list (i.e. in December 2026).
    • Completion would be valid until January 1st 2028.
