Public vs. Private vs. Hidden Classes

Modified on Thu, 14 May at 9:00 PM

CPR Enroll+ gives you precise control over the visibility of every class you schedule. Understanding the three visibility states ensures the right students can find and register for your classes at the right time.

Visibility State	Students Can See It?	Students Can Enroll?	Best For
Public (default)	Yes — on all registration pages	Yes — self-enrollment	Regular open-enrollment classes
Private	No — hidden from all pages	Only via direct link or admin	Corporate groups, invitation-only classes
Post UnScheduled	Yes — listed but no date shown	Yes — to express interest	Pre-selling enrollment before dates are set

How to Set Visibility on a Class

Go to Classes in the sidebar.
Click + to create a new class, or ⋮ > Edit on an existing class.
In the Listing Settings section of the class form, find the visibility options.
Configure as needed (see each option below).
Click Save.

Public Classes

Public is the default state. A public class:

Appears on your Layout Based View, List View, and Calendar View registration pages
Is included in embedded registration widgets on your website
Displays available seat count (if Show Available Seats Publicly is ON)
Allows students to self-enroll and pay online at any time (subject to registration deadlines)

Private Classes

In the Listing Settings section, toggle Private Class to ON.
Click Save.

A private class:

Does NOT appear on any public registration page
Requires admin enrollment (Enrollments > Quick Add or Add Student)
Can be shared via a direct class registration link — go to Classes > ⋮ > Share Registration to get the direct link. Only people with the exact link can register.

✔ Corporate group classes

Private classes are ideal for corporate on-site training. Enroll employees manually from a roster, or share the direct class link with the HR coordinator to distribute internally. No one else can find or register for the class.

Post UnScheduled Classes

In the class form, check the Post UnScheduled checkbox.
Click Save.

An unscheduled class:

Appears publicly on your registration page but shows no specific date or time
Allows students to enroll and pay in advance
Creates Unscheduled Enrollments in your Enrollments > Unscheduled tab
Students are assigned to a specific class date later once scheduling is confirmed

⚠ Not available for Online class type

The Private and Post UnScheduled options are not available for the Online class type. Online classes have no fixed date by definition and behave differently from scheduled class types.
