# Participants
On the learning platform, participants can enroll in a course or session. Alternatively, you can also enroll participants in courses.
If users are enrolled in courses, they are created within the course in the Enrollments folder. The Enrollments folder may be located right in the course folder or, if the course has sessions, in the folder for the respective session.
Upon successful completion of a course, certificates can be issued automatically for participants.
This chapter addresses the following topics:

The participants in the group are shown in the New participants dialog box. You can remove specific participants by clicking the X icon.

If a participant would like to unenroll from a course, they can do so themselves on the learning platform. Alternatively, you can unenroll participants using the Cancel enrollment function, for example if a participant does not show up to a face-to-face training.
