Add Lessons and Quizzes to a Course
For: Trainer | Tier: Standard and Pro
This guide walks you through adding content to a course you have already created. You will learn how to add different lesson types and build quizzes to verify comprehension.
Adding Lessons
- Open your course in the course editor (go to SafePath then Courses, then click on your course)
- Click
Add Lesson - Choose a lesson type:
- Text — Write lesson content directly in the editor. Good for safety policies, procedures, and chemical hazard summaries.
- Video — Upload a training video or link to an external video. Good for demonstrating proper procedures and PPE use.
- PDF/Slides — Attach a PDF document or slide presentation. Good for existing training materials and manufacturer safety guides.
- Add your content — enter text, upload your file, or paste your video link
- Give the lesson a title that describes what it covers
- Click
Save - Repeat for each lesson you want to add
Lessons appear in the order you create them. You can drag and drop to reorder them at any time.
Adding a Quiz
- In the course editor, click
Add Quiz - Add your first question:
- Multiple choice — Write the question, add answer options, and mark the correct answer
- True/false — Write a statement and indicate whether it is true or false
- Add more questions by clicking
Add Question - Set the passing score — the minimum percentage employees must achieve to pass (default is 80%)
- Click
Save
You can place quizzes after specific lessons or at the end of the course as a final assessment.
Before You Publish
- Click
Previewto experience the course as an employee would see it - Check that lessons flow in a logical order
- Verify quiz questions are clear and answer options are unambiguous
- Confirm the passing score is appropriate for your content

Tips
- Keep lessons focused. Each lesson should cover one topic. It is better to have five short lessons than one long one.
- Use quizzes strategically. Place quiz questions that directly relate to the lesson content — this reinforces learning and helps you verify comprehension.
- Set a realistic passing score. 80% is a common standard for safety training. You can adjust higher for critical topics or lower for introductory material.
