# Set Up A Course As A Certification

In order for a user to access a course, the course must be set as a required activity in a certification after the course is created in the People Module. This certification must then be assigned to the user.

There are five data categories that allow a user to customize preferences: General, Tracking Settings, Activities, Privacy, and Advanced Settings. Detailed information about each can be found in the People Module.
