Guide to Creating Courses

Course, classes and lessons - get to grips with the differences

When you want to sell a course on Youandx, there are a few more things to keep track of than if you want to sell lectures, workshops and coachings. We'll go over it all in this article.

What is a course - and how is it different from the other forms of benefit?

Unlike the other forms of benefit, a course can have specific dates. For example, as a supplier, you can say that you hold a course once a month.

This is different from, for example, lectures that you give at the request of a specific company.

What are classes and lessons?

The course itself has a title, price, description, etc. An example might be:

• Title: Excel Course
• Price: 10.000 DKK pr. person

Each class is a collection of lessons that a person can sign up for. For example, if the excel course has 3 lessons, an employee can sign up for 3 lessons at once by signing up for a class.

Team example:

• Title: August, Copenhagen
• Consists of 3 lessons

Each lesson includes an address (can be physical or online), as well as a start and end time.

Specific example

I want to do a course on agile project management with Scrum. I therefore create a course with a title, description, price, etc.

Below you can see what this will look like for my customers.

My colleagues and I will host the course in Nordhavn, Aarhus C and Odense from 6 March to 9 March 2023. So these are the 3 teams that I create. Below it is again seen how it will look for my customers. 

Each team has 4 lessons. My clients can expand each of the classes to see exactly where and when each of the lessons takes place. 

When my clients book a course, they can choose which of the classes they want to book for.

Note that in this case, all the teams have the same event dates, but I might as well choose some other dates for the same location.
