# Using Subscription Training Keys for Self-Paced Learning

Subscription keys are a method to automatically assign a Subscription to a user. Keys are aligned to a subscription, and subscriptions allow you to group together multiple courses in one package to assign to students for a specified length of time. Students then have on demand access to the courses and can choose which content they would like to consume.

### Subscripton Key Features

The main features of Subscription Keys are:

- Key is used for access to subscriptions (Self-Paced)

A subscription is an assignment to an individual for access to a set of courses for a set amount of time for self-paced access. Students can choose which courses to access from the subscription, which then open as a course assignment, and they can access the courses at any time for the duration of the subscription.

A training key is a code given to students to be admitted to training and can also be used for them to create their own user accounts. Training keys can be used to create class enrollments, course assignments or subscription assignments.

A subscription profile is a bundle of courses made available to students for a set amount of time for self-paced access. The profile sets the template for each subscription assigned to a student.

Self-Paced or On-demand training is associated with course assignments or subscriptions. Users are assigned training which can be accessed at any time by the learner at their leisure. Outside guidance or mentorship is often not provided with this type of training.
