A TeleClass is a conference call, like a chat line. You and between 10-500 other registrants call a regular phone number (commonly in Orlando or Las Vegas) at your class time and you are welcomed by the TeleClass Leader. The TeleClass begins promptly at 2 minutes after the listed start time. A TeleClass is similar to a grad school discussion -- some lecture, some questions, some discussion. If this if your first time taking a TeleClass, you may wonder if and how it works. It just does. It's highly interactive and the 'flow' works well. You can listen and absorb and/or engage in the discussion. You can always ask questions of the TeleClass Leader. Most TeleClass sessions last an hour. Some meet one time only, others meet weekly for 4-8 weeks, sometimes longer. You do not need a computer in order to be in the class.
All you need is a regular phone! Just follow the instructions that accompany each class listing. And/or you can search for all TeleClasses here or view upcoming Teleclasses here I lost the bridge number for my class! This happens, not to worry.

For details of how to be trained as a TeleClass Leader, please visit the Teleclass Leader Community at CoachVille. What other courses qualify me to be an instructor? We also accept certification from the following programs: CoachU's
Teleclass Leader Training To qualify with one of the above programs, you will need to provide proof of purchase and completion of these courses. Please contact help@teleclass.com What courses do NOT qualify me to be an instructor? The following course does not qualify you to list at TeleClass.com:
Do ALL instructors need to be certified? 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. What's the process for listing a class? If you have listed a class before: If this is your first time listing a class: 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.) What are the fees for listing a class? There is a nominal fee to list a class. The fee is based on the number of sessions/weeks/meetings that your TeleClass has.
To qualify for a $49, $59 or $69 listing, i.e. single teleclass with multiple segments, the criteria are that:
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. 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: What if I need to cancel my class? You can cancel your class at anytime, but we do not offer a refund or credit for cancelled class listings. If your class has not been approved yet (you have not received an approval email) you may can cancel your class and have it not appear in the teleclass.com listing. Go to http://www.teleclass.com/login.lasso. Enter your email address and password, then you will be taken to your listing page. You can cancel your class from there. However, once your class has been approved and you cancel it, it will appear as if you have not cancelled it. It will still appear on the teleclass website, and you will still get emailed reminders from the teleclass.com system because they get sent automatically up to the date of your class. but people will no longer be able to sign up for it, if they try.
How do I duplicate a class that I've taught before? You would want to use this option when you are going to schedule to teach a class again 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). 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.
How do I 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:
How do I reserve a bridge line? You can obtain free teleconferencing bridges from either www.freeaudioconferencing.com or www.freeconference.com.
Where can I look up my bridge number? No problem. Go to http://www.teleclass.com/login.lasso. Enter your email address and password, then you will be taken to your student page. Click on "My Classes", third line from the top. On this page will be a table of all your classes, with bridge numbers . What classes are acceptable to list? We accept most classes for listing at TeleClass.com. You may teach a class on almost any subject, including:
What classes are NOT acceptable to list? There are some classes we cannot list here. These include:
Can I teach a class 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 How does my class get promoted? It's up to you to market your own class. There's many creative ways you can do this including:
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. To ensure a successful class,
we suggest the following:
We publish the Teleclass News ezine to an ever growing subscriber base, to assist you in your promotional efforts. When you list your class at Teleclass.com, it will automatically be included in the Teleclass News. We publish on or around every Monday. If you want your class included in the next issue, deadline to list your class is the previous Tuesday before publication. How do students register for my 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. How do students register for my fee class? 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.
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! |
