 * Hi [@reynskie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reynskie/),
 * Thanks for the inquiry.
 * Right now this is _not_ possible. We do get a fair number of requests for it,
   but it’s still not a behaviour we currently support. We may explore it in future,
   but at the moment this would be quite difficult to do and would require development.
   You don’t really want to set up a simple 301 redirect against the course either
   because then users couldn’t easily access their completion certificate at the
   end and it could cause confusion with some default LearnDash navigation elements(
   that link to the course level).
 * Again, we may revisit this as a new feature in future, but for now we do recommend
   taking users to the course page and offering content at that level that makes
   it a worthwhile page to visit (perhaps by including a course summary, prerequisites,
   links to key resources, time expectations, instructions for getting started, 
   etc.).

 * +1 for this, many of our clients users are finding course navigation confusing.
   In an ideal world there would be a “Start Course” button on the course homepage
   and “Next” and “Previous” buttons on each item in the course.
 * This is a pretty standard form of navigation and while I understand the potential
   complications in coding it I’m sort of at a loss as to why it isn’t in the core.
 * This is how the “Click Here to Continue” buttons currently works
    - Lesson
 *  - Quiz (click “Click Here to Continue” after passing quiz it takes you to the**
      NEXT** Lesson)
 *  - Lesson
 *  - Topic
    - Quiz (click “Click Here to Continue” after passing quiz it takes you to the**
      NEXT** Topic)
    - Topic
    - Quiz (click “Click Here to Continue” after passing quiz it takes you back 
      to the **CURRENT** Lesson)
 *  - Lesson
 *  - etc…
 * Students are getting confused as the behavior of the “Click Here to Continue”
   button is inconsistent.
