Sign language teachers: beginner course cycles
How sign language teachers can run beginner course cycles with online booking: places per course, weekly sessions until an end date, levels and video options.
5 min read
Sign language is learnt step by step, with the same group over several weeks so learners can practise with each other. Learners dropping in and out break the rhythm. With Book, each course is a service with a set number of places and weekly sessions until an end date, learners book on your own booking page, and you can book them for the whole cycle from your list.
One service per course level
On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.
| Service | Example slot | Places | Example price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner course – level 1 | 1 h 30 | 10 | €15 |
| Beginner course – level 2 | 1 h 30 | 10 | €15 |
| Video beginner course | 1 h | 10 | €12 |
| Workplace group course | 1 h 30 | 1 | €180 |
Durations, places and prices are examples: set your own.
Weekly sessions until an end date
Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. A ten-week level 1 course on Tuesday evenings takes a few minutes to set. Learners book each session, or you book a learner for the whole cycle from your bookings list; with their email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file for each session. Book doesn't send reminders.
Places for practice
Set places to a group size where everyone can practise and get feedback. Each online booking takes one place, and a full course leaves your page.
Video courses
Video courses reach learners far from you. Create a video service and send your link by email: Book doesn't create video links. Say in the description what setup works best, such as a camera that shows hands clearly.
Workplace groups
Companies and schools may book a course for their team. Create a private service with one place, or book the sessions yourself from your list. Book doesn't take payments or issue invoices.
The next level
At the end of a cycle, open the next level and book learners who continue from your list. See the guide on lessons for families.
What Book doesn't do
Book doesn't take payments, sell course passes, issue certificates or send reminders. Learners can't move or cancel online: they contact you. One booking page per business, no staff field: with other teachers, create courses per teacher. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
