Learn how to browse, select, and purchase content directly from the Content Marketplace using the self-service checkout flow, with tips for reviewing content, managing your cart, and fulfilling purchases in your LMS.
Step 1: Open the Content Marketplace
You can access the Marketplace in one of two ways:
-
Main Navigation: Select Content Marketplace from the left navigation bar.
-
Empty State Message: If you're searching in your LMS and no results are found, a prompt will appear linking you directly to the Marketplace to continue browsing.
Step 2: Search, Filter, and Sort
Use the search bar to find content by keyword, title, or provider. Then refine your results with the filters in the left panel:
-
Vendor
-
Credit Values
-
Jurisdictions
-
Requirements
-
Field of Study
-
Qualifications
You can also sort results using the dropdown at the top-right:
-
Program Name (A–Z)
-
Vendor Name (A–Z)
Tip: Combine filters to narrow in on specific professional requirements or audience needs.
Step 3: Review Content Details
Click any item in the results table to open the content details page. Each listing includes:
-
Title and full description

Purchased content appears automatically in your LMS under Manage Training
-
The content will be marked with a “Purchased” source tag
-
You can enroll learners and add it to learning plans and catalogs as you would any other piece of content up to your enrollment or entitlement limit.
Provisioning usually takes less than a minute but could take up to 15 minutes for large transactions.
