# Classes

> Schedule a class, assign its trainers and find the roll.

Administrators, enrolment officers and assessors can schedule and change classes.
Read-only staff can view them.

A **course** defines what is taught, including its units. A **class** is a
scheduled delivery of that course. A **session** is one meeting of the class.
A **booking** places one student in the class.

## Find or schedule a class

Open **Courses** and choose the course. Its class picker starts at **Every
class**; select the class you need. The course area also provides day and
calendar views.

To schedule a class, choose **Schedule a class** from **Courses** or the
course's details page:

1. Choose the **Course** and enter a **Class name**.
2. Set **Start date**, **End date** and **Location**.
3. Check **How it's delivered** and **Status**.
4. Enter **Places** if the class has a capacity; leave it blank for no limit.
5. Add **Notes** if needed, then choose **Save class**.

Dates are the location's own calendar dates. Check the location and delivery
defaults even when they have been filled from the course.

The class uses the course's units. Once a course has classes, its unit membership
is fixed. Use a different course when a different set of units is needed.

## Assign trainers and assessors

On the class, find **Trainers and assessors**. Choose a **Trainer** and **Role**,
then choose **Assign**. The role can cover training, assessment or both.

Review any qualification, matrix or working-under-direction warnings. Assignment
warnings can allow the assignment to save; they still need attention. A trainer
working under direction cannot record assessments through the portal.

An administrator must also link the person's login to their trainer record
before they can use the trainer portal for the class.

## Continue the class setup

Choose **Book a student** to [add a booking](https://docs.rtospot.com.au/bookings.md), or **Sessions and
attendance** to schedule meetings and [manage their rolls](https://docs.rtospot.com.au/attendance.md).
Use **Edit details** to change class information.

Automatic class emails depend on your organisation's workflow settings. The
class's **Mute for this class** action pauses its automatic emails;
**Unmute** allows them again.
