Getting started
Learn what you need before using Classia, who this guide is for, and the first steps to set up your organisation, sign in, and create classes or terms
Overview
This section helps you get started with Classia.
It is designed for new users who are setting up their account for the first time, as well as existing users who want a clearer understanding of the basics. You do not need to complete everything at once. Classia is flexible and can be set up gradually.
Who this is for
Getting started is useful if you are:
- A teacher or studio owner new to Classia
- An authorised staff member joining an existing account
- Setting up a new organisation or location
If you already use Classia day to day, you may want to jump straight to the section that matches what you are trying to do.
What you need before you start
Before using Classia, you will need:
- An active Classia account
- Access to the email address linked to your account
- Basic information about your classes, such as days, times, and age ranges
You do not need to have pricing, terms, or payment details ready immediately. These can be added later.
Your first steps
Most people begin by:
- Signing in to their account
- Checking their organisation details
- Creating their first class or term
You can stop and return at any point. Changes are saved automatically as you work.
Key concepts to understand early
Classia is built around a few simple ideas that appear throughout the system:
- Classes represent what you teach
- Terms group classes over a date range
- Enrolments link participants to classes
- People includes participants, parents or payers, and staff
You do not need to master these straight away, but understanding them will make later sections easier to follow.
