Introduction
Start from scratch gives you complete control over your course content and structure. No AI tools are used to generate or organise content — everything is built manually. This option is best when:
You have a clear idea of the course structure and content you want to include
You are working from a policy document or existing training materials that need to be included word-for-word
You want to ensure no content is summarised, reordered, or omitted
