# Adding trainers to courses

Trainers are special roles that are not students or course owners. Trainers are nominated by course owners, and can view the progress and quiz results of students in courses. To assign a trainer to a group, follow these instructions:

**On Desktop/Tablet**:

1. Make sure you're logged in and have purchased access to a course.
2. Click the "Dashboard" button in the top-right corner of the screen.
3. Click the "Students" tab (it should be selected by default).
4. Select the course (called a "group") to which you'd like to assign a trainer from the dropdown.
5. Scroll down to the "Manage trainers" section.
6. In the "Appoint a Trainer" section, enter the email address of the existing user you'd like to become a trainer and click "Submit". Users without accounts, as well as users that are already course owners, cannot be nominated.

**On Mobile:**

1. Make sure you're logged in and have purchased access to a course.
2. Click the ≡ button in the top-right of the screen.
3. Click the "Dashboard" button.
4. Click the "people" icon.
5. Select the course (called a "group") to which you'd like to assign a trainer from the dropdown.
6. Scroll down to the "Manage trainers" section.
7. In the "Appoint a Trainer" section, enter the email address of the existing user you'd like to become a trainer and click "Submit". Users without accounts, as well as users that are already course owners, cannot be nominated.
