# Class Types In ActiveNow you can create four types of classes. Choosing the right one affects how classes appear on the Calendar and how you bill participants — so it's worth knowing which type fits which situation. ## Group course A recurring course with a group of participants, held at the same time every week throughout a semester or year. Typical examples include dance classes, language courses, swimming, or team training sessions. ## Individual course Regular weekly lessons at a fixed time, but with just one participant. Works well for tutoring, private music lessons, or personal training with a set schedule. ## One-time class A single session with one participant, with no recurring schedule. Works well for one-off training sessions or classes arranged privately. ## Trial lesson A single session for a potential participant who wants to try out the classes before committing to a full course. Afterwards, you can convert the trial into an individual course or sign the participant up for a group course — directly from the system. You can find more about setting up and managing trial lessons in the [Trial Lessons](/en/online-sign-ups/trial-lessons.md) article. ![Diagram showing the class types: group course, individual course, and one-time class](/files/WJtrMY4n9nBMWm00zMcG) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
