2. Add a course 

2.1 Dashboard 

Click on “New Class” at the top of the dashboard. 

OR

2.2 My Offers

Go to “My Courses” in the side menu on the left and add a new event. 
Here you will also find all your courses and can edit them at any time. 

3. Create a course 

3.1 Basic information 

1. Select your course title, e.g.: Indian cooking course in Munich: Make your own naan.
   1. Keep your title short and to the point. A maximum of 59 characters is allowed.
   2. Use a keyword and name the city where the course takes place.
   3. Avoid mixing German and English words.
2. Describe your course in one sentence (subtitle) so that participants are attracted to take part and get a first impression of what to expect in the course. A maximum of 160 characters is allowed.
   
   
3. Then set the following parameters:
   1. The language in which your course will be taught.
   2. The duration of the course (in hours).
   3. The minimum and maximum number of participants for your course. 
   4. Click on “Select” and choose suitable course categories for your course. You can select several categories. Users can then filter by category on the website, e.g., cocktail course.
      
      There are subcategories that are assigned to a main category. For example, “Wine tasting” is listed under “Tasting” and this goes with “Food & Drinks”.
      
   5. Select a tag, e.g., Team event Berlin. If there is no suitable tag for your course, this is not a problem, and you can leave the field empty.
      
      🎠 For courses that are specifically for children, please select the tag “Courses for children”. Also include in your description what age the course is suitable for and whether the children must be accompanied by an adult.
      
      
4. Event Location:
   1. Specify whether your course takes place on site (in person) or online. If you do not have a fixed location or several locations, select “by arrangement” and inform your customers about the event location in a separate e-mail after booking.
   2. Enter the address of your location.
   3. In step 3 “Information Summary” of the course editing, you can add further information about your location.
      
      
5. Mobile courses - You run your course not only at your own location, but also at the customer's location if desired. Then you can make the appropriate setting here so that the customer can choose where the course will take place directly when booking:
   1. Move the toggle to “Yes”.
   2. Specify how far away the customer can be (in km) so that the travel costs are still included in the course price.
   
6. Choose whether the course should be published only on gokonfetti.com or also in your booking solution.
   

3.2 Course description 

Describe your course content and the course structure to let customers know what they can expect from your course, how the course runs, who the course is suitable for, etc.

Generally:

• We recommend at least 200 words.

Structure of the course description:

1. Course content: Start your course description with a summary of what the course is about, what customers can expect in your course, what the aim of the course is, etc. 
   
   
2. Course schedule: Add a rough outline of your course so that potential customers get an impression of the course. Feel free to use bullet points here for a better overview.
   
   
3. Who is the course suitable for: Describe the target group for which your course is suitable. Is your course exclusively for advanced learners or also for beginners, only for groups or particularly suitable for teams, etc.? 
   
   
4. What is included in your course: What services, materials etc. are included in the course price? Feel free to work with bullet points here too. 
   
   
5. What to bring: Do your customers need to bring anything to your course? It can just be a good mood, a desire for cocktails or appetite. :) 
   💡 This information is shown in the booking confirmation. 
   
   

3.3 Information Summary 

In the summary, you should add the most important information for your potential customers to see at one glance.

1. What is included: Do not copy what you have previously written in the “What is included” section, but use a bullet point list, separated by commas.
   e.g., Mix three cocktails, one shot, all utensils, professional instructions
2. Suitable as a private event or team event: Point out to your customers that your course is also suitable for group or team events.
   e.g., This cooking course is particularly suitable for bachelorette parties.
3. Location information: Give a brief description of where your course will take place.
   e.g., The Indian cooking course will take place in a modern cooking studio in Munich.
   Example for online events: The ramen cooking course will take place online.
4. Special ticket information: This information will only be provided to the customer after booking in the booking confirmation email.
   e.g., Please inform us of any allergies or intolerances up to 1 week before the event.
5. Would you like to offer additional products (add-ons): You can add additional products and services that customers can book in addition to your courses. This can be, for example, a food pairing, an extension package, an additional person or a product. You can find more information here.
6. Will a product box be sent to the customer: If customers receive a product box in advance as part of your course, e.g., for online cooking courses, set the toggle to “Yes”. 
   
   

3.4 Dates and prices

💡 In general, an individual date request is possible for every course, but public dates or dates for group bookings increase the visibility and improve the ranking on the website. This can significantly increase the number of your bookings and therefore your sales!

1. Set the price per person.
2. Choose whether your course can only be booked as a private event / team event.
   1. Only group dates can be added.
   2. Gift cards cannot be purchased for your course.
3. Add dates. You can add different types of dates:
   1. Public dates
   2. Group bookings
   3. One-time dates
   4. Recurring dates
   5. Events over several days or with different dates (multi-date classes)

3.5 Gallery

Upload images and videos that match your course.

Select good quality images to attract customers' attention to your course. Please note the following points:

• The images should have an image aspect ratio of 4:3.
• Use at least 5 sharp and well-lit images. Up to 10 images can be uploaded.
• Do not use logos or filters on your images or videos.
• Use images that look authentic.
• Use images that represent the content of your course and give the customer a good first impression of your course.

Our gallery: 

• Our image gallery consists of a main image, 4 side gallery images and an extension.
• You can set a main image and your side gallery images.
• You can use the navigation arrows to change the position of your images.

Upload a video:

You can also upload up to 1 video per course, in portrait or landscape format.

4. Publish your course 

When you first create your course, it is initially a “draft”.

As soon as you have completed and saved all the course editing steps, your course status will automatically change to “Published (after approval)”.

The konfetti team will check your course in advance and then put it online on gokonfetti.com. This takes about 1 day.
