How to Enable Self-Registration for Learners to Enroll in Courses or Quizzes

 

If you're still manually adding users, chasing email addresses, or managing enrollments one learner at a time, it’s time to automate.

 

With ProProfs Training Maker, self-registration lets learners enroll themselves in your classroom, quiz, or course using a secure link. You stay in control of what details they submit, which groups they join, and how long they have access, without having to manage every field yourself.

 

This is especially useful when:

  • You're preparing for high-volume course launches (e.g., onboarding or compliance training)

  • Learners join in waves, and timing isn’t predictable

  • You want to embed training access directly into your website, portal, or internal platform

 

Here’s what the self-registration form looks like to learners:

What You Can Control With Self-Registration

 

  • Which details to collect (e.g., email, phone, department, role)

  • Who gets notified when someone registers

  • How access works â€” through open links, SSO, or invite-only join codes

  • How it fits into your workflow â€” via automation, reminders, or learning paths

 

Many teams pair self-registration with SSO (e.g., Azure), reminder automations, and group-based reporting to roll out recurring or compliance-based training at scale.

 How to Enable Self-Registration for Learners

 

Step 1: In your ProProfs Training Maker account,

  • Go to “Classroom”

  • Select a classroom you want to enable self-registration for

  • Click the three vertical dots or the kebab menu icon

  • Select “Edit” from the list

 

Navigating to the self-registration form

 

 

Step 2: In the edit section,

  • Click to open the “Welcome Screen” dropdown menu.

  • Open “Registration Form.”

 

Enabling the self registration form

 

 

Note: Depending on your requirements, you can also enable single-sign-on (SSO) and self-enrollment using secret join codes.

 

 

Step 3: In the registration form, you can enable / disable options with just a click,

  • Enable “While registering ask for,” and below it, you will find different fields that you can allow to collect details during registration.

  • The fields you enable will appear in the live preview on the right side of your screen.

  • At the bottom of the left panel, you will see options to enable/disable sending an email notification to both the author and the learner once the registration is complete.

 How Can Learners Self-Register for a Course/Quiz

 

By sharing the classroom link, you can allow learners to register directly in your classroom at ProProfs.

 

Alternatively, learners can register for the classroom embedded on your website. Read how to embed the classroom on your website.

 

Step 1: New learners can register by clicking “Sign Up.”

 

Starting the self-registering process

 

Step 2: Once they click Sign Up,

 

  • The “User Registration” page opens. Here, they have to fill in their information.

  • After learners have filled in the required fields and set up their passwords, they must click “Register” to complete the registration.

  • Once the registration is complete, they will be able to log in to your classroom.

How Learners Can Register

 

Once self-registration is enabled, learners can register using:

  • Direct classroom links (great for internal portals, pre-course emails)

  • Embedded classrooms on your site (ideal for public-facing training)

  • Join codes (useful for segmented group access without managing invites manually)

 

When a learner clicks the link:

  • They’ll land on your branded registration page

  • Fill out only the fields you’ve enabled

  • Set their own password and get immediate access (or get assigned automatically to a group)

No back-and-forth. No manual entry.

 

 

Why Teams Use This

 

  • Preparing for upcoming course launches: Save hours by letting 60+ learners self-register, as seen in Tony’s use case for student onboarding

  • Government or enterprise compliance programs: Handle large workforces (like Lawrence’s 3,800 employees) without a bottleneck

  • Flexible enrollment: Let learners register as needed across cohorts, locations, or time zones

  • Integrates with other features: Use alongside SSO, automated reminders, group permissions, and reporting dashboards

 

 

That is all about enabling learners to self-register to enroll in your course/quiz.
