Learn how to define the description text for your Course Templates.

Adding detailed descriptions to your Courses not only informs your potential customers about the content of your Course so that they are confident in their booking, but also serves as a powerful marketing tool!

A clear and inviting description provides a sneak peek into your Course's value, helping your customers to make informed decisions during their searching and booking process. You can also use this text to entice bookings, by advertising the benefits of attending the Course and what each of your potential customers would achieve by booking and attending with you.
