+### Creating the Learning Lab Course
+
+If you have not created a Learning Lab course before,
+it is recommended to take the
+[course on creating a course](https://lab.github.com/githubtraining/write-a-learning-lab-course)!
+
+There are core repositories that need to be created as part of any learning-lab
+course:
+
+* **The course repository:**
+  All the course configuration, instructions etc...
+* **The template repository:**
+  The initial contents that populate the repository
+  created on behalf of the course participant.
+  (All courses are taken with respect to it's own repository)
+
+We've created two template directories
+that you can use as a starting point for your own CodeQL Learning Lab Course:
+
+* [`templates/learninglab/course`](templates/learninglab/course)
+* [`templates/learninglab/course-template`](templates/learninglab/course-template)
+
+Simply copy the contents of these templates into their own repositories,
+and follow the [template instructions](templates/learninglab) to get started.
+
+*(Remember that you need to create 2 separate repositories
+for your Learning Lab course,
+they can't be directories in an existing repo).*
