Business & Enterprise Feature
Courses are TimeTap's way of offering multi-day class-based appointments. This could take a number of different forms -
- A Red Cross program that offers a lifeguard certification class that takes place over the course of 4 consecutive weeks. Students that sign up for the program need to be enrolled at specific times throughout the 4 week period.
- A corporate training group that offers a 3 day seminar over a weekend. When clients register, they want to get registered for all 3 days of the seminar.
- A bootcamp fitness coach who runs a 6 week bootcamp and wants clients to be registered for the same time each week.
The examples could go on and on. This feature is pretty advanced and only available for Business and Enterprise users. We recommend watching the quick demo video below that explains more about what courses are and what they are used for, and walks you through creating a new course -
In this section of our documentation, we'll cover -
- Course - A course is the reason that a client is booking the appointments with you, similar to a service or class. Each course has a standard number of sessions that are offered in sets that your business schedules.
- Set - Courses get offered in sets. If you have a "Lifeguard Certification" course, for example, you may have a "Summer Certification Set" that takes place from June-July. Each set is made up of a given number of sessions that get generated based on the number of sessions that the course has on its profile.
- Session - Sessions are the individual instances of the course. Think of them like class sessions. The number of sessions it takes to complete a course gets decided when creating the course. Whenever a set is created, the number of sessions that the course requires get created.
A client enrolls in a set you have created for a course that you offer. When the client completes all of the sessions scheduled for that set, they will have completed the course.
