What is Course schema?
Course schema is structured data describing an educational course: its name, description, and the organization that provides it. It uses the Course type, which Google supports for course rich results and course list experiences.
Valid Course markup can make a course eligible to appear in Google's course-related features. Google's documentation notes some fields, like provider, are required for eligibility.
Name, description, and provider are required
Per Google Search Central, course rich results need a meaningful name, a description, and a provider. Write a description that genuinely explains the course rather than repeating the title.
For richer eligibility you can add course instances with dates, modes, and prices, but the base Course with a named provider is the starting point. Name the provider as your Organization, and link them by @id in graph mode.
Where to put the code
Paste the generated <script type="application/ld+json"> block into the <head> of the page it describes. On WordPress, a free plugin like WPCode adds header code without editing theme files, and SEO plugins such as Yoast and Rank Math accept custom JSON-LD. On a static site, paste it straight into the HTML.
