Instruction that reminds new student to enter help option (9,6)

I believe the answer is:

refresher course

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'instruction that reminds' is the definition.
'refresher course' can be an answer for 'instruction' (refresher course is a kind of instruction). I am not sure about the rest of the definition.

'new student to enter help option' is the wordplay.
'new student' becomes 'fresher' (I've seen this before).
'to enter' indicates putting letters inside.
'help option' becomes 'recourse' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'fresher' put within 'recourse' is 'REFRESHER COURSE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for refresher course that I've seen before include "it helps you get up to speed" , "Training" , "study update" , "further education?" , "sweet group?" .)
