Overview
Standardizing course regulations and certificate settings ensures accurate tracking of metrics like graduation and dropout rates by certification. This article explains how to audit and configure courses.

Regulation: Set appropriate regulation (e.g., “Part 141” or “Part 61”) for certificated (or endorsement) courses (e.g., Private Pilot, Instrument, Commercial Multi, etc). Choose “Other” for courses that are outside of pilot flight and ground training.
Certificate/Rating Earned: Choose a specific certificate(s)/rating(s) (e.g., Private Pilot) or “Other” for endorsement courses (e.g., tailwheel, high performance, etc) or courses with “Other” for the regulation
