Online courses
If you deliver online training a ‘venue’ physical location is less relevant (though this does enable you to have different timezones if you are doing webinars). We suggest you have one venue called ‘online’ or if you are delivering webinars use the method of delivery eg Google Hangouts or Webex.
Tips
If you notice that locations are appearing when you don’t think they should check that you have not nested locations under each other. eg. Sydney City should not have other Sydney locations nested under them unless you want to see these when filtering by ‘Sydney City’
