Hello,
I'm very new to ATutor and I am seeking help on how to attach the SCORM package that i've uploaded into course content, eg. Course ABC.
Can it also be blended so that a student can take a test on ATutor and when the test is successfully completed a certificate can be issued.
Any help on this would be greatly appriciated.

There are SCORM content packages and SCORM Sharable Content Objects (SCOs). Content packages you can import directly into ATutor content through Manage>Content Import.
SCOs on the otherhand are standalone units that run in the SCORM player. You'll need to install the SCORM module for ATutor to use SCOs (admin>modules>install modules). SCOs do not become part of the ATutor content (though it might look like it).
As far as certificates are concerned, I don't imagine you will be able to issue a certificate after a test in a SCO, unless the SCO itself will do that. You can however, with the ATutor certificate module installed, issue a certificate after completing an ATutor created test. See the readme with the certificate module

Thank you Greg!
Just another quick question, do you know how to make the SCORM course appear in the navigation bar?
I have uploaded the SCORM package and would like it so that a student can click the link under "Welcome to ATutor" in the navigation bar and the course to load in a seprate window.
Thanks again for your quick reply.

Links to the imported SCORM SCOs only appear on the Packages screen.
You could create a page after Welcome that introduces the package, with a link in it that opens it in its own window.
