GSC Impact:
Manual structured data action for deceptive course markup.
Actionable Fix:

Only apply Course schema to structured educational curricula with explicit learning objectives.

errorPitfall #2

GSC Impact:
Course rich snippet disabled in SERPs.
Actionable Fix:

Always supply a fully-qualified Organization provider.

warningPitfall #3

Missing CourseInstance Schedule Details

Lacking courseMode or workload details leads to incomplete course cards.

GSC Impact:
Lower student enrollment CTR from SERPs.
Actionable Fix:

Add courseMode: 'Online' or 'Blended' and workload.
