Creating New Classes

You can add new classes from the Calendar or the Courses tab — this is where you set up the schedule, pricing, and participants for every course.

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 article.

How to create classes from the Calendar

In the Calendar, select the time slot you want, then choose the type of classes you'd like to create.

You'll be taken to a form where you can enter the course details:

  • Course name

  • Course size — maximum number of participants

  • Proficiency — selected from the proficiency levels configured in Settings

  • Schedule — the course dates (start and end), the day of the week, and the class times. If instead of fixed dates you want to define the number of lessons upfront — contact us, we can enable a feature that lets you specify how many lessons the course should include, and the system will automatically calculate the expected end date.

  • Pricing — price and billing settings for participants

  • Participants — individual billing and course attendance dates per participant

Once you've filled in the details, click Save at the bottom of the form.

How to create classes from the Courses tab

Go to the Courses tab and click + Add class. From here you can create a group course or an individual course. The course details form is the same as described above.
