	No. For example, if you set the course completion for All aggregation methods and wanted to reset it to "Any", Moodle will warn you that you are deleting compiled student data.

It will delete the student data only for the course completion information. When the scheduled task for handling completions next runs, it will recompile the course completion information. However, if manual completion of an activity is a course completion requirement, students will need to re-tick that they have completed the activity.

	Otherwise, if you use course self-enrolment, a workaround is to add a final activity at the end of course 1 - such as a quiz - inside which you give the enrolment key to the next course (in the quiz feedback for example, or in a label using access restrictions based on passing the quiz).
