What is Course Kit in one sentence

Course Kit helps you track:

  • Which courses you bought
  • How many sessions you used
  • How many sessions remain
  • When packages expire
  • Each attendance, deduction, and scheduled session
  • Total spend and price changes

Course Kit runs on iOS and Android, with interfaces in English, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese. Use Self Courses to track classes you buy. Use Collaborate courses when you teach, schedule, or manage students. One account holds both "I take lessons" and "I teach lessons" roles, so you do not need separate accounts or separate tools.

The core concept: one account, two roles

A trainer might coach during the day and take evening classes. A tutor might teach English while learning new teaching methods. An esthetician might run a studio while taking advanced training. Every account supports both roles.

I take lessons: track courses you buy

Use Self Courses to manage classes you buy, such as:

  • English lessons
  • Fitness coaching
  • Music lessons
  • Tutoring
  • Skincare treatments
  • Sports massage

Add a course with its name, category, total sessions, price per session, and expiry date. Log used sessions after each class. Course Kit updates your remaining balance and reminds you before packages expire. If you take multiple courses, you can also view:

  • Total course count
  • Cumulative sessions bought
  • Total spend
  • Courses you spend the most on
  • Price changes at the same studio or course

You can check your progress anytime:

What did I buy? How many sessions are left? Am I using them on schedule?

I teach lessons: manage courses you teach

Coaches, tutors, and solo practitioners can use Collaborate courses to:

  • Create courses
  • Invite students
  • Schedule single or recurring sessions
  • Record attendance
  • Deduct used sessions
  • Let students view remaining balances
  • Let students confirm lesson logs
  • Export lesson history

Students see only their own course details, with no need to scroll through past chat messages.

Learning and teaching in one account

One person can learn and teach at the same time.

Use "I take lessons" for courses you buy, and "I teach lessons" for students you manage. Both roles stay separate inside the same account without switching logins.

How to choose between Free, Solo, and Pro

Course Kit has Free, Solo, and Pro plans. The Free plan has no time limit. Solo and Pro are one-time purchases: no subscription, no monthly fees, no auto-renewal. New accounts start with a 14-day full-feature trial.

What you can do with Course Kit

1. Track courses you buy

Set total sessions, cost per session, and expiry dates when creating a course. Tap to log used sessions after class. You can also log partial sessions, like 0.5 or 1.5.

2. Check remaining sessions and expiry dates

Course cards show remaining sessions. The app alerts you when credits run low or a package is about to expire, so you no longer need punch cards, receipts, or chat threads.

3. Track spending and price changes

Statistics show:

  • Total courses
  • Total sessions
  • Cumulative spending
  • Monthly sessions and monthly spend
  • Price changes for the same studio or course
  • Spending breakdown by provider and course

This gives a clear picture of the time and money spent across your classes.

4. Create Collaborate courses

Teachers create Collaborate courses and share an invite code or link. The instructor schedules classes, logs attendance, and deducts sessions. Students see remaining counts and recent logs. Deductions enter a pending state until both sides confirm the record.

5. Export course data

Solo, Pro, and trial accounts support Excel export. The Free plan does not include export. If you need regular backups or must share lesson sheets, factor this into your plan choice.

Four scenarios: which one sounds like you?

Scenario 1: multiple classes, hard to track remaining sessions

Different studios track credits differently, from punch cards to chat messages. You can use the Free plan to log total sessions, used sessions, and expiry dates in one place. Upgrade to Solo when you need export, reminders, and deeper stats.

Scenario 2: parents managing classes for kids

Parents managing language, math, music, or sports lessons need to know how many credits remain on each package and when they expire. Self Courses keeps them in one view, saving search time. Start with the Free plan if you have only a few classes.

Scenario 3: coaches taking continuing education

Teaching by day and taking professional courses at night creates two tracking needs. Use Self Courses for classes you buy, and Collaborate courses for client scheduling and deductions. Pro fits this workflow directly.

Scenario 4: service pros who reconcile sessions with clients

Solo providers billing by the session often leave records split across paper, calendars, and text messages. Invite clients into Collaborate courses so both sides view matching numbers. If you take courses yourself, Pro covers both roles.

Advantages of Course Kit

1. Timely reminders instead of searching chat history

Notes buried in chat only help if you remember to look. Course Kit sends reminders based on expiry dates so you can schedule sessions before packages lapse.

2. Automatic updates instead of manual spreadsheets

Spreadsheets require manual formula maintenance. Course Kit recalculates remaining counts and balances as soon as you log a session.

3. Trial requires no payment details and no auto-charge

The 14-day full-feature trial starts on login without payment details. If you do not upgrade, the account switches to the Free plan with no unexpected charges.

4. Free plan has no time limit

You can log sessions at your own pace within Free plan limits without feeling pressured to purchase immediately.

5. No need for separate accounts

People who teach while studying can manage both sides within one account.

Limitations of Course Kit

1. Built primarily for iOS and Android

Course Kit is currently an iOS and Android app. If you'd rather work in a desktop browser, it's not a good fit yet.

2. Free plan does not include data export

The Free plan has no time limit, but it omits Excel export. If you need routine data backups or handoffs, look at Solo or Pro.

3. Free and Solo have usage caps

Self Courses limits you to 100 sessions on Free and 500 on Solo. Statistics caps at 3 entries on Free and 100 on Solo. Users with high course volumes should consider Pro for unlimited logging.

4. Pro may be too much for a few personal courses

If you only log your own classes, Pro features like scheduling, deductions, and billing reports are unnecessary. Start with Free or Solo instead.

More features do not always mean a better fit. Base your pick on whether you manage teaching alongside your own learning.

Who it fits and who might skip it

Who Course Kit fits

  • People juggling several course packages
  • Learners tracking remaining credits and expiry dates
  • Anyone tracking course spending across studios
  • Users tired of hunting through paper slips and messages
  • Anyone needing alerts before sessions expire
  • People who want Excel exports of class logs
  • Instructors handling student scheduling and credit deductions
  • Teachers taking their own continuing education
  • Anyone wanting one account for learning and teaching

Who might not need it right now

  • Someone taking one short course who doesn't care about expiry dates or remaining sessions
  • People who only use web browsers and avoid mobile apps
  • Businesses needing complex CRM, accounting, or enterprise tools
  • Users needing data export on the free tier
  • High-volume users who prefer not to buy Pro

Course Kit focuses on session balances, attendance logs, scheduling, and client collaboration. It does not replace full payment, accounting, or business management software.

Pricing and refund policy

  • Free: €0, no time limit
  • Solo: €24.99
  • Pro: €65.99

Solo and Pro are one-time purchases: no subscription, no monthly fees, no auto-renewal. The 14-day full-feature trial requires no payment info and does not charge automatically.

Refund criteria, scope, and procedures depend on your purchase channel and current store terms. Check the official refund policy for details.

FAQ

Will the 14-day trial charge automatically?
No. The 14-day full-feature trial starts when you sign up, without payment info. If you do not upgrade, your account returns to Free tier limits.
How long can I use the Free plan?
It has no time limit. It includes up to 100 sessions in Self Courses, 3 entries in Statistics, and 3 Collaborate courses.
Can the Free plan export to Excel?
No. Excel export is available on Solo, Pro, and during the 14-day trial.
Will my records stay safe if I switch phones?
Per official documentation, logged-in data stays linked to your account. Without an account, data may remain local to that device. Log in before switching devices, and verify media backup terms in the official FAQ.
What is the difference between Solo and Pro?
Solo covers classes you buy, offering Self Courses, statistics, reminders, sync, and export. Pro adds teaching tools: Collaborate courses, scheduling, session deductions, tracking student confirmations, and monthly billing reports.
Do students pay to join a Collaborate course?
No. Students join courses for free as members, though exporting full session records still follows plan rules.

Conclusion: is Course Kit right for you?

For a few personal classes, the Free plan works well. It has no time limit, letting you build a routine first. If you want reminders, statistics, cloud sync, and Excel export for your own lessons, pick Solo. If you teach while taking classes and need to manage both workflows, Pro is the best fit.

Course Kit is built on a simple idea: the same person can be both a student and a teacher.

You can track your own lessons and manage your students from one account. Start on the Free plan, then pick the upgrade that matches how you learn and teach.
