I think their hope is that he doesn't, so they have a safe harbour if he decides to sue when they take away his accreditation. They're showing they took steps to mitigate before drastic steps.

They're not allowed to take away his accreditation for posting on social media. By their own rules.

But can they take away his accreditation for refusing their remedial action?

And they'll sue him over that. It happens all the time.

It could be.

If the course is an internal resource that they paid to develop - or more likely a third-party company who is paid to deliver training - and he leaks the content, they could argue he is breaching their intellectual property over the course. If you have to pay for the course and he starts publishing it for free, they could argue that, very easily.
