# Access external courses using Coaching with Learning

Add courses from external sources such as Udemy, Pluralsight, or Cornerstone to enable your users to gain skills from external content.

## Before you begin

**Important:** Starting with the Brazil release, Workforce Optimization for ITSM is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer installed on new instances but will continue to be supported. For details, see the [Deprecation Process \[KB0867184\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0867184) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.

Role required: sn\_wfo\_cfg\_itsm.manager

You must integrate Coaching with third-party learning management systems. For information on how to perform this integration, see [Integrate Coaching with Learning with third-party learning management systems](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-service-management/workforce-optimization-for-it-service-management/integrate-learning-third-party-configurable-wfo-itsm.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Workforce Optimization for ITSM** > **Manager Workspace**.

2.  Click the coaching icon.

3.  Click the **Learning** tab.

4.  Go to **Learning Courses** > **External Courses**.

    You can search courses based on keywords using the **Search courses** field or narrow down the display of the courses based on skills using the **Filter courses by skill** field.

5.  Select a course.

6.  Click **Go to course**.

    You can review and learn the external course.
