To create a course you only need a name and a type. Students, price and the other details are optional, and you can add them now or later.

​
Before you start

​
Create the course

  1. In the menu on the left, click Courses.
  2. Click New course, at the top right. The New course panel opens.
  3. Type the course name where it says My course. For another color, click the color circle to the left of the name.
  4. In Course type, choose one of the 4 types.
  5. In Students, type a student’s name and click it to add them. Repeat to add more. In 1 to 1 lessons you can only add one. In Meetings 1 to 1 and Open doors, skip this step.
  6. Click Create. You’ll see “Course created successfully” and your course page opens.

Panel to create a course

Is your student not in SmartCookie yet? In step 5, type their name and choose Add ”…” as a new student. They show up in the list with the New label. If you like, type their email in Email (optional), next to their name. You can also create the course with no students and add them later on the course page, with Add student.

​
Fill in the rest (optional)

The panel has three more sections. You can leave them empty:
  • Price: what you charge, Per hour or Per month. In Group lessons it’s always per month. SmartCookie uses this price when you prepare a bill.
  • Online booking: whether your students can book sessions from your booking link. In 1 to 1 lessons it’s on from the start. We explain it in Let students book sessions.
  • Additional info: a Description (up to 500 characters), the Level (up to 20) and the Schedule (up to 100), for example “Mondays and Wednesdays”.

​
Change a course

  1. In Courses, open the course.
  2. Click the pencil (Edit course), at the top right.

  2. Click Save changes.
You can change everything except the course type.

​
Delete a course

  1. In Courses, open the course.
  2. Click the bin (Delete course), at the top right, next to the pencil.
  3. In the window, click Delete course. You’ll see “Course deleted successfully”.

​
What you can’t do

  • You can’t change a course’s type. Create a new course with the right type.
  • You can’t use a name longer than 50 characters.
  • You can’t get back a deleted course. Deleting it removes its sessions and notes. Your students stay in Students.
