Listing Your Class
Welcome!
We want to list your TeleClass! Please read all of the following
information before listing your class. There is additional Information at
the Instructor
Help page.
List Your Class Now!
1. The process
You'll
be filling out a web-based form. Then, within 2 business
days of submitting your class, we'll post it here at TeleClass.com
for the world to see. (Note: We do reserve the right to not post
a class that has objectionable material or that intrudes on the
intellectual property rights of others.) There is a nominal fee to list a
class. The fee includes the use of a telephone bridge through
www.bridgerentals.com and is based on the number of sessions/weeks/meetings that your TeleClass has.
Note: The fee is the same whether you are offering your
class to the public for free or for a fee.

To qualify for a $49, $59 or $69 listing,
i.e. single teleclass with multiple segments, the criteria are that:
- the content is different for EACH session
- the participants are the same for ALL sessions
If you wish to teach the same material over a
number of sessions to a different group of students each time, then you need a
separate listing for each teleclass.
Notes:
--Listing
fee includes one free listing in the weekly TeleClass News which
is broadcast to 17,000+ students each week.
--Deadline for the
weekly TeleClass News is 5:00pm Eastern on Tuesdays. Each edition
is emailed on Wednesday and contains listings for the following
week.
--Your class
can be up to 55 minutes in length; it's the same listing fee.
--A bridge line from
www.bridgerentals.com is included in the listing fee. Please note:
You will be taken to
the bridge line reservation page as soon as your payment for the teleclass listing is
confirmed - please do not book directly at www.bridgerentals.com
or you will be charged for the reservation. You may also use
your own bridge if you wish (the listing fee remains the same).
--Listing fees are
in US Dollars.
--You can cancel your class
at anytime, but we do not offer a refund or credit for cancelled classes.
2. Acceptable Classes
We
accept most classes for listing at TeleClass.com. You may teach
a class on almost any subject, including:
--Business/Entrepreneurs
--Certifications
--Coaching/Consulting (but not coach training)
--Computers
--Family
--Health
--Internet
--Money/Personal Finance
--Professional Development
--Relationships/Dating/Marriage
--Recreation
--Spirituality/Religion
--Training/Teaching
You may list a class that runs up to 10 weeks. You may even list
group coaching but only if it's not targeted to training coaches. You may also list group discussions.
3. Classes
we cannot list
There are
some classes we cannot list here. These include:
1. Coach-training related. Coach U, CoachVille
and the Graduate School of
Coaching have exclusive contracts with
us to list their classes. This includes classes offering "mentor"
training as well.
- Training involves
teaching coaches certain materials and providing them with a set of
resources that they can use to help clients work towards specific
goals.
-
Mentoring would be
walking a coach through a specific process and offering feedback on how they
did, what could be done differently, where improvements can be made, etc.
2. Teleclass Leader Training. We already offer these from
in-house instructors.
3. Multilevel marketing. We do not list MLM or network marketing
classes. Sorry.
4. Any class/topic that isn't 100% up front and honest (No product
pitches unless clearly stated in the class description. No hard
sells to a tuition-based program.)
5. Anything that intrudes on the intellectual property rights of
others.
If
you're not sure if your class qualifies, and would like to get pre-approval so that you know we can list your class, feel free
to email us the title and brief description of your class to help@teleclass.com.
4. Instructor
Qualifications
You will need to have completed
a formal TeleClass Leader training in order to teach a TeleClass at
TeleClass.com. For details of how to be trained as a TeleClass Leader, please visit: TeleClassLeader.com.
Approved TeleClass Leader Courses
include:
-- 6 week TeleClass Leader Training
(live teleclasses and/or RealAudio recordings).
-- Coach U's TeleClass Leader Training.
-- TeleClass
International's TeleClass Leader Training.
The following course does not qualify you to list at TeleClass.com:
-- 5-day Certified Leader Program.
If you are a qualified instructor and wish to
co-lead a class with another instructor, please note that the other instructor
must also be qualified. In order to create your joint account, please send
an email to help@teleclass.com providing
details of the instructor names, and an email address which is accessible by
both parties.
5. Suggestions
for instructors
To
ensure a successful class, we suggest the following:
1. List your class between 3 and 6 weeks before the start date
of your class.
2. Start with a free class of one, two, three or four sessions.
If these prove to be popular, then offer a tuition-based class. (Note:
If you wish to start with a tuition-based, class, no problem.
But you should know that it will probably attract very few, if
any, registrations. )
3. Set the class size at 40 to 75. Remember, with free classes,
you may have up to a 40% no show rate.
4. Only teach what you have experience with. Don't disappoint,
oversell or otherwise mislead.
5. Always describe WHO the class is for specifically, in your
class description.
6. How students
register for a free class
If the
class you list is a free class (meaning that you do not charge for it), our system will handle everyone's registration,
automatically. In fact, our system is set up to do all of this
for you. Students receive an immediate confirmation with the bridge
number, time/dates and pre-class instructions, if any. In fact,
you write this letter when you list your class with us, so it's
really from you personally. You'll receive regular reports and
the email addresses of students as they register, so you have
everything you need to contact them.
Note:
Your students can register for their classes at
http://www.teleclass.com
or via our email system. Details will be forwarded to you so you
can make registration a snap!
7. How students
register for fee classes
If your
class is a fee class (meaning you are charging students to attend), you will be handling the registration, confirmations,
reminders, fee collection, etc. All we are doing is offering a
low-cost listing for you; students will be emailing you with their interest or
visiting your website if you so direct them to.
8.
Reserving your bridge
Occasionally,
instructors will complete their listing only to find there are no bridge
lines available for the scheduled time. Should this happen, simply
e-mail help@teleclass.com and
with an alternative time or date (rather than creating a new listing).
You can also confirm bridge availability prior to
completing the schedule information in your listing by visiting
www.bridgerentals.com and clicking on
the link to "check for availability before I reserve a bridge." Just a
reminder - do not book the bridge line directly form www.bridgerentals.com.
You'll be directed to reserve the bridge after the payment for your
listing has been processed.
If you are using your own bridge,
please
make sure you include your bridge number on the class listing
application form.
9. Marketing
It's
up to you to market your own class. However, once a week, we broadcast
a list of the following week's classes to our growing network of students, instructors, members and subscribers. If the
class you offer is free, our marketing efforts may help to direct
people to your class. If your class is fee-based, our marketing
efforts probably won't be enough to help you fill your class.
We highly recommend that you offer one or more free, single-session TeleClasses
first to see what the market wants.
10.
Duplicating a Class
You would want to use this option
when you are going to schedule to teach again a class that you already have
listed in our system. All you have to do is to update the times/dates
in the schedule and
welcome/confirmation e-mail letter and
you're all set! (Otherwise you'd have to start over and type in the course
description, etc., etc., So, it's a real timesaver. Even if you want
to change some of the text/description, you'll still save time by first
duplicating an existing class and making the changes from that point.
Here's how to duplicate a class:
- click here now "Student
Log In "
- enter your email and password.
- at the next page, click on
"View/Update/Duplicate/Cancel
the Classes I'm teaching", third line from the top.
- click on "Duplicate" next to the class you wish to duplicate.
- make changes in ALL of the places
where the date and time are indicated.
- make any other changes you wish
- Click the "Duplicate Class"
button at bottom of page and continue with
the review, submission and credit
card pay process
11.
Update an Existing Class Listing
You would want to use this option
when you spot a typo or want to tweak or edit the wording in your listing.
Here's how to update a class:
- click here now "Student
Log In "
- enter your email and password.
- at the next page, click on "View/Update/Duplicate/Cancel
the Classes I'm teaching",
third line from the top.
- click on "Update" next to
the class you wish to update.
- make any changes you wish
- if you make a change in the Schedule field, or the Bridge number field, only
make typo corrections, not real schedule changes, as the system will not
recognize actual schedule or bridge number changes at this spot. (to make those
changes, go to duplicate a listing, #10, above.)
- Click the "Update
Class Listing" button at bottom of page and you're done.
12.
Cancel an Existing Class Listing
Use this option if you want to stop
registrations from occurring for a class. If you do this before anyone signs up,
your class will simply cancel. If you do this after you already have
students signed up, you will need to email your students to inform them of your
cancellation.
Here's how to cancel a class:
- click here now "Student
Log In "
- enter your email and password.
- at the next page, click on "View/Update/Duplicate/Cancel
the Classes I'm teaching",
third line from the top.
- click on "Cancel" next to
the class you wish to update.
- send an email from your email
program to the students who are already registered, informing them of the
cancellation.
Once you have done
this, please send an email to help@teleclass.com
with the Class number and Section number and we'll remove the listing
for you. Please note that we cannot offer a refund or
credit for cancelled classes. Sorry.
13.
Changing Instructor's Bio
Go to www.teleclass.com,
and click on "List
a Class."
At the next page, click
"List Your Class Now", third line from top.
On the next page, enter
your email and password.
At the next page, make the
necessary changes to your profile.
Click "Proceed",
then exit the listing area.
Your changes will be saved.
14.
Collecting payment for pay classes you are leading
How should I ask
students to pay tuition for my fee classes?
By check, fax, phone, PayPal
or by any secure pay system you might have on your own website. Do not
ask them to email you their credit card information. Electronic mail
sent through the Internet is not secure and is often and easily
intercepted by third-party 'sniffer programs.' You may also want
to set up a shopping cart to handle payments online via CartVille.com.
This automates the entire registration, confirmation and payment process
for classes!
Note: TeleClass.com does not accept student fees on behalf of
instructors. Sorry.
15.
Teaching other people's work
May I teach a
class that is based on someone else's program or book?
Not without written
permission from the author and/or publisher. It's usually okay to
mention a key point or two from someone else's material or to ask
students to read a book for reference, but if the substance of your
class is taken directly from another's work, you will have to obtain
written permission from the author. (Quite often, this is willingly
given.) We will ask that you forward a copy of this written
authorization to us via email to
help@teleclass.com.
16.
Bridge problems
Please note that when you sign up
for the free bridge line through
www.bridgerentals.com, you will receive an automatic confirmation message
which provides details about how to access a back up bridge line if required.
These details are unique to each booking so please have that email handy when
you connect. You may also wish to review the "bridge
tips and troubleshooting" details for additional information such as:
If you call the bridge and the phone rings
endlessly, this could mean:
- Wrong Bridge Number. Of course, you'll want to
locate and dial the correct bridge number.
- Number was Misdialed. Check the number and
dial again carefully.
- Called Early/First Caller. If you are the
first caller, the phone will ring endlessly until someone else calls in - then
you'll be automatically connected. If you are first or early, let it ring
about 15-20 times, hang-up and call again.
- Translated the Time Incorrectly. You may want
to review time translations at
http://www.timeanddate.com.
17.
Miscellaneous Q&A
May I let people
attend my free TeleClasses if they don't register through
TeleClass.com's system?
Yes, of course. It's
your class, not ours. Simply drop us an email to
help@teleclass.com and ask us to
update the number count as necessary.
May I list my
classes at places other than TeleClass.com?
Yes, of course.
Whatever is best for you. Please note, however, that you may only
ask your students to register by signing up through teleclass.com's
registration system or your own. No redirects to other teleclass
sites please.
How much in advance
should I list my class?
Between 3 and 8 weeks.
The earlier the better and the more it will fill.
How do I get my class listed in the weekly email broadcast that goes out
to students?
We do this for your
