What is a one-off class?
A one-off class is a single, non-repeating class that you manually schedule for a specific date and time. It's different from repeating classes (which occur on a regular schedule) and schedule courses (which are part of a structured program).
Common uses for one-off classes:
- Special workshops: Holiday events like Christmas or New Year workshops
- Guest instructor sessions: Classes taught by visiting teachers
- Trial classes: One-time introductory sessions for new students
- Makeup classes: Rescheduled sessions due to cancellations
- Pop-up events: Spontaneous or promotional classes

What's the difference between one-off classes and repeating classes?
Understanding the difference helps you choose the right option:
| Feature | One-off Class | Repeating Class |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule | Single occurrence on a specific date | Repeats weekly on set days |
| Best for | Special events, workshops, guest sessions | Regular weekly classes |
| Setup effort | Created individually each time | Set up once, automatically repeats |
| Calendar appearance | Shows only on the scheduled date | Shows on all recurring dates |
Tip: If you're running a class that happens regularly (e.g., every Monday at 6 PM), use a repeating class instead to save time.
Can customers book one-off classes online?
Yes! Once you create a one-off class, it will appear on your booking calendar just like any other class. Customers can:
- See the class on the calendar for the scheduled date
- Book the class using their passes or by purchasing one
- Receive confirmation and reminder notifications
- Cancel their booking according to your cancellation policy
The class will only appear on the calendar for the specific date you scheduled it, not on any other days.
How do I edit or delete a one-off class?
To edit or delete a one-off class:
- Go to Schedule → One off class tab
- Find the class in the list
- Click on the class to open its details
- Make your changes and click SAVE, or click DELETE to remove it
Important: If customers have already booked the class, deleting it will cancel their reservations. Consider notifying affected customers before making changes.
