Notes for both Scenario A and Scenario B

Note 1: If a course (that doesn't match the Current Preferred Language of a User) is assigned to the user. The user will be able to access this course under Me / My Training Although this course won't match their Current Preferred Language.

e.g. If Course A is assigned to User B, the user will be able to access this course.

 

Note 2: Let's take an example from past assignments:

10/01/2022 A User had their Preferred Language set as French.

11/01/2022 The User was assigned to a French course.

12/01/2022 The User Changes their Preferred Language to Italian.

On 12/01/2022 The user will still be able to access the French Course.
