Program Workflow improvements

We've added new capabilities to Programs, based on your feedback - thanks, and keep it coming!

• While most learners start at the beginning, some of your superstars may need to start with more advanced training. You can now define the starting point for learners who don't need to start at the first level
• When setting up Programs with Assessments, it's now possible to set up the Pre-course Assessment as optional, meaning that learners can choose whether to start with the Course or start with the Assessment
