If your company has activated the External participations module, then the employees can enter their participations in courses that are organized outside of Coursy.
The employees can add their external course participations from the Employee Portal’s landing page by using the Add external participation button. The employees can view their added external participations from the Course history section on the Employee Portal’s landing page.

The external participation entries initially have the “In confirmation” status. Company managers can confirm or decline the external participation entries from Coursy TMS.
