Fill a term of courses

A term of courses is sold once and runs for months: junior tennis from September to December, a ten-week beginners' climbing course, a pilates foundations course, a golf simulator course for new golfers. The money comes in before the first class.

A timetable people book class by class has a playbook of its own, Launch group classes.

One course with groupsCopy Anchor Link

One course holds the term. Its groups are the levels and time slots people choose: Mini tennis on Monday, Juniors aged 10 to 12 on Wednesday, Adults on Thursday. Each group has its own classes, price, participant limit and instructors. All groups of a course share one registration period. Groups that open at different times go in courses of their own. See Courses.

Choose the payment mode first:

A group's Minimum participants decides whether each class runs. When registration for a class closes below the minimum, Thril cancels the class and tells the participants. To run a small group anyway, clear its minimum. See Classes below their minimum.

The course before registration opensCopy Anchor Link

Publish the course with Show course before registration opens. Families see the groups, times and prices days ahead, and registration opens for everyone at the set time.

Tell people when it opens. An announcement with a push notification reaches your app users, and a marketing email reaches the rest.

Last term's families firstCopy Anchor Link

Last term's participants are your easiest sign-ups. A dynamic customer list with the Courses filter set to last term's course holds them. An email to the list goes to the guardian of each child, once per family.

Put a promo code with a Course discount in that email, with an Active period that ends a week after registration opens. That is your early-bird price for families who come back.

For the next term, Duplicate course copies every group into new dates, without participants, queues or payments.

Sign-up by guardiansCopy Anchor Link

Turn on Allow child accounts in the event settings. Set Who can sign up to Only children added by a guardian on a junior course or group. The guardian signs the child up and pays, and the child is the participant. See Course registration and participants.

Questions at sign-upCopy Anchor Link

A participation form asks your questions when people join: the child's skill level, allergies, a photo permission. Required for sign-up makes the answers part of joining. Download CSV on the course's participants gives the instructors every group's list with the answers.

Full groupsCopy Anchor Link

• Queuing. When a group is full, people join its queue, and the next person gets a place that frees up straight away. A long queue in one group tells you to open another.
• Class replacement. A participant who misses a class books one in another group of the same course.
• Open classes to non-participants. After registration ends, drop-ins can book free places in a class.

• Each group's participant list shows who is confirmed, who is queuing and what they have paid.
• The promo code's usage list shows how many families took the early-bird price. Only last term's list got the code. The count is also the number of families who came back.
