Website | Displaying Schedules as “Next Intake” (Hide Duration)
This guide explains how administrators can configure schedules that do not show a duration on the website and instead display “Next Intake – [Month]”.
This setup is ideal for university-style programmes, year-long courses, or intakes with flexible timelines.
1. When the admin enables Hide Duration of Course, CourseCo:
Removes the “Duration” display from the website.
Shows the schedule as Next Intake – {Month}, using the start date month (e.g., “Next Intake – January”).
Uses Registration Start and Registration End dates to control when the schedule appears on the website.
Allows the schedule to stay published even if the real start date is far into the future, until registration closes.
If registration dates are not entered, CourseCo automatically uses:
Registration start: Today
Registration end: Today + 1 year
How to Configure a “Next Intake” Schedule
Follow the normal flow for creating a schedule, with a few additional fields.
Step 1: Add Schedule Details
Go to Add Schedule and enter the standard information:
Course name
Location
Trainer (optional)
Delivery mode (Classroom, Online, Blended)
Toggle On: “Hide Duration of Course”
A new toggle will appear:
Hide Duration of Course → Turn ON
This tells the system to remove duration from the website and replace it with Next Intake.
Step 2: Add Start & End Dates (Flexible)
You must still enter a Start Date because CourseCo uses it to determine the Intake Month.
Start date is often not meaningful to admins for long programmes — pick the approximate intake month.
End date can be any time in the future (e.g., 12–18 months later).
Example:
Start Date: 11 January 2026
End Date: 11 June 2027
Only the month of the start date will be shown publicly.
Step 3: Configure Booking Settings
Go to the Booking tab.
Set Book on Web → Yes.
Because Hide Duration is enabled, two additional fields appear:
Registration Start Date
Date from which this schedule is visible and bookable online.
(E.g., 1 September 2025)
Registration End Date
Date on which applications close.
(E.g., 10 January 2026)
These dates control website visibility:
The schedule remains published from Registration Start → Registration End.
It does not disappear automatically based on the schedule’s Start Date.
After the Registration End Date passes, the schedule is automatically removed from the website (unless a session start date triggers removal earlier).
If you don’t enter registration dates
CourseCo defaults to:
Registration Start = date schedule was created
Registration End = 1 year after creation date
This ensures the schedule still displays even without admin input.
Step 4: Add Capacity and Pricing
Add the usual:
Maximum capacity
Total price for the programme
These behave exactly like standard schedules.
3. How It Displays on the Website
When used with Hide Duration of Course, the website shows:
Course List Page
No duration
Displays: Next Intake – {Month}
e.g., “Next Intake – January”
Course Detail Page
Same behaviour:
Next Intake – JanuaryRegistration open/close dates determine whether this schedule appears.
Key Notes
Only the month of the start date is used.
Duration is fully hidden.
Schedule is visible only within the Registration window (or default window).
