# 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](/en/online-sign-ups/trial-lessons.md) 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 the group course creation form, which is divided into sections:
**General** — core course information:
* **Course name**
* **Course size** — maximum number of participants
* **Venue** — if you select *Online*, a field for the lesson link will appear directly below
* **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](mailto:support@activenow.pl), we can enable a feature that calculates the end date automatically.
* [**Pricing**](/en/billing/billing-schedule-types.md) — price and billing settings for participants
* **Participants** — individual billing and attendance dates per participant
**Offer details** — visible when the school teaches both children and adults:
* **Proficiency** — selected from your [proficiency levels](/en/getting-started/managing-proficiency-levels.md)
* **Age group** — *Children*, *Adults*, or *Children and adults* (mixed). Schools that teach only one age group won't see this field — the system assigns the age group automatically.
**Online sign-ups** — sign-up settings:
* **Sign-up information** — content shown to participants during sign-up and in the confirmation email, such as what to bring or any requirements
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.
