This PASI Core Service is used to retrieve Course information from the PASI Core when using the 2017 Service Endpoint or 2018 Service Endpoint.

The Get Course service can be used for 2 purposes:

1. To retrieve information about a Course from the PASI Core, and
2. To obtain updates about a Course from the PASI Core as part of the data synchronization processes.

This request can be completed for a single course or a list of courses.

This service can be accessed by systems with the Hello World User role.

The Course Codes provided in the request are validated and the result is returned as the Availability Status:

Information for each of the Course records identified in the request will be retrieved from the PASI Core and returned in the response. If a list of records has been requested, they will be processed in the order provided.

• If the Expected Version requested is ‘0’, the record will be returned.
• If the Expected Version requested is the same as the PASI Version of the record, the record will be returned.
