What Is a Paid Course Enrollment?
A Paid Course Enrollment lets you purchase one specific course for yourself or others in your organization.
Here’s how it works:
- Purchase access to one course
- You have one year to start the course
- Once started, you receive one full year of access
- If you complete the course within that year, you unlock two additional years of access
Paid Course Enrollments are non-transferable and are tied to the learner they’re purchased for.
Who Are Paid Course Enrollments For?
Paid Course Enrollments are a great fit when:
- You need training for a specific role or skill
- You’re onboarding a new hire or small group who won’t need immediate continued training
- You’re preparing for a certification
- You want a focused learning option without broader access
They’re designed to complement other learning options and give you more flexibility in how you invest in training.
How to Purchase a Paid Course Enrollment
Purchasing for Yourself
- Sign in to your CBT Nuggets account
- Navigate to the course you want
- Click Enroll on the course page
If you don’t have access to the course, you’ll see the option to purchase a Paid Course Enrollment.

Purchasing for Someone Else (Admins)
Admins can purchase enrollments for individual learners or groups.
- Go to the course page
- Select Admin Actions → Enroll Learners

- If payment isn’t completed right away, an invoice is created and can be paid later by a billing admin or owner
When Does Access Start?

Completing the course within that year unlocks two additional years of access to the course.
