Common questions

What is a course booking system?

Course booking systems are used to collect course booking on your website. It’s likely to include course scheduling tools, customizable booking forms and credit card payment facility. Some software goes further by allowing a richer ecommerce experience, accepting other forms of payment (eg. invoice), and automating course management processes – such as reminder emails, waitlists and course transfers.

Who uses course booking software?

1. Training providers who regularly deliver the same courses, multiple times and need an efficient way to manage the involved processes
2. Internal training providers – training people who do not pay to attend a course, for example upskilling your staff
3. External, commercial training providers – training people who pay to attend a course
4. Training companies who offer blended learning courses – encompassing face-to-face, live online, eLearning – and need an efficient way to package this up

Do I need a training booking system?

If you run more than 2 or 3 training courses per month, you probably need a course booking system.

Training booking systems save you time by collecting registrations and payments for specific course dates, and automating follow-up tasks like sending emails. Ultimately, training booking software saves you time by eliminating manual administration.

Can course booking software run my training business?

Some solutions go well beyond simple course scheduling and booking. Known as training management systems, they manage all aspects of your business. They can power your website, capture bookings and payments, automation follow-up tasks, report on performance, and integrate with your other business systems.

How much do course booking systems cost?

From $25 to over $1,000 per month. Arlo starts at $99 per month plus $2 per registration – view the pricing.
