course participation
My best guess:
Although I don't think it is an actual word, it is often used in the context of course giving and training/education. You can find many hits on Google for "undervisning og kursing" (education and training).
The definition of "coursing" in English has nothing to do with education or training, so don't use that.
Another alternative to "course participation" would be simply "training".
"Kursing av hørselshemmede" (Training for people with hearing disabilities).
Course participation led to increased career opportunities.

: I think "training" would be a good choice. When I see the word "kursing", I think of it as something offered to a person/group.

That might be true - it would depend on the context :-)

Discussion
The choice is yours, but I believe "kursing" (just as with "undervisning" (education) or "opplæring" (training) is being used as a noun...thus my answer.
