Placement by email ping-pong
Which level, which course before, evenings or mornings? Five emails go back and forth before someone is in the right class.
Language schools
From A1 to C1. Without notes, without spreadsheets.
Evening courses, intensive courses, conversation groups and one-to-one lessons book themselves online – with the details you need for placement. Companies book for their staff and get the invoice as an e-invoice if they want. From €19 a month, without commission.
Sound familiar?
Every registration brings three follow-up questions
Company clients with their own rules
The company books, the staff learn, the invoice goes to the accounts department – and these days they want it as an e-invoice.
Counting hours at the end of the month
Who taught how many hours? For fees and funding applications you piece it together from calendars and lists.
Courses & levels
From the evening course to the intensive course – sorted by level
Set your courses up with categories and course types, by language and level for instance. The course website filters by them, so people find their course in seconds and book it right away.
- Course day planner: an intensive course Monday to Friday, an evening course twice a week, holidays as days off – the course days appear at once.
- Course series such as A1.1, A1.2 and A2 – that keeps your programme clearly structured.
- Course bundles: a grammar course and a conversation group bookable only together, at a total price (Pro plan).
- On site, online or hybrid per course day – Zoom webinars register your participants automatically when they book (Pro plan).
Registration & placement
Prior knowledge and preferences right at registration
Extra questions at checkout collect what you need for placement – native language, previous course, preferred time. Longer questionnaires you send after the booking as a follow-up form. The answers sit with the order and, if you want, on the participant list.
- Extra questions during booking, optional or required and per course category – different questions for German courses than for English (from the Plus plan).
- Your own extra fields for participants, such as “level after placement” – in the record, in the customer account and on the participant list for the teacher (from the Plus plan).
- A follow-up form after the booking for longer questions (from the Plus plan) – can be filled in again, with every change as a new version (Pro plan).
- Waiting list: when a course is full, people wait for a place – and move into the next course in a few clicks (from the Plus plan).
Company clients & invoices
Companies book, staff learn
A company books as the customer for several staff members and the invoice goes to its accounts department – as a ZUGFeRD e-invoice if wanted, which accounting software imports directly.
- Booker and participants kept apart: the company as the customer, the staff as participants, with a separate invoice recipient if needed.
- ZUGFeRD e-invoice – checked before dispatch and archived unchanged (from the Plus plan).
- SEPA direct debit and part payments for longer courses, with a reminder at one click (from the Plus plan).
- Ongoing conversation groups as a subscription with a recurring date, billed monthly and automatically (Pro plan).
Teachers & records
Attendance, class book and hours per teacher
Your teachers tick off attendance in their own login and record for each course day what was covered. At the end of the course there are certificates for everyone, at the end of the month the hours list per teacher.
- Attendance per course day with reasons for absence from your own catalogue (from the Plus plan).
- Notes on the session: lesson, homework, anything unusual – several entries per course day, each with its author.
- Certificates of attendance as PDFs, individually, as a collected PDF or by email to everyone (from the Plus plan).
- An hours list per teacher from the statistics kit – as a ready-made Excel file for fees and records (from the Plus plan).
Frequently asked
What language schools ask us
Is there a placement test?
Kursimple has no built-in placement test. You ask about prior knowledge with extra questions during booking, and send longer questions afterwards as a follow-up form. The answers sit with the order.
Is the course website multilingual?
Yes: the back office and the booking portal are available in German and English, and when more than one language is offered a language switch appears. Further languages – French, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Polish and Ukrainian – can be enabled; missing texts are translated by Kursimple at the touch of a button and released by you. Course titles and descriptions you write in whatever language you like anyway.
Can companies book for several employees?
Yes. The company books as the customer and the employees are the participants. The invoice goes to the company or to a separate invoice recipient – from the Plus plan as a ZUGFeRD e-invoice if wanted.
Can I offer one-to-one lessons?
Yes, through the free choice of dates: customers pick free slots in the monthly calendar, and on the phone you create an appointment right in the order screen (Pro plan).
