# Course Access

 * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/course-access/)
 * I am currently working on a site that has had Sensei setup for awhile. It has
   around 40 courses with each containing 5-6 lessons and a quiz. Each of the courses
   has a prerequisite for another course and when someone signs up they can progress
   through all the courses from start to finish.
 * I have been asked about the possibility of limiting access to the courses. Say
   they want to give someone access to only Lessons 5-10 or only Lessons 17-18. 
   I have looked through the documentation, but I’m not really clear on how to achieve
   this. Should I enable the “Don’t allow self-enrollment” on each course and then
   create different cohorts to give access to only what is needed?
 * Any help in understanding how to achieve this is appreciated.

 * It’s not possible to limit access to specific lessons to certain individuals,
   as all the lessons are available to students once they have enrolled in the course.
 * However, you can use the Block Visibility settings in the lessons to limit who
   can see the content.

 * Sorry, I just realized I mistyped what I meant. I said “Lessons”, but I meant
   courses. I need the ability to give students access to only some of the courses
   instead of a students having access to all.

 * In that case, you could first disable self enrolment in the course settings so
   students can’t enroll themselves to courses:

 * Next, you cam go the Sensei LMS > Groups. After creating the group, you can auto
   enroll the group to specific courses through the Groups and Cohorts page:
