π Understanding Short Course Learner Billing
Short Course Learner Billing is designed for flexible, fast-moving course delivery. Under this model, you pay based on the number of course commencements each calendar month, making costs directly tied to your actual activity.
π― Key Highlights
βοΈ Based on commencements: You are billed for each Short Course a learner starts in a given month. Enrolling the same person in multiple short courses counts multiple times.
π Monthly billing: Your total for a calendar month is finalised on the evening of the final calendar day of each month and is invoiced in alignment with your Billing Date.
π Tiered pricing: Like a reverse tax bracket, the per-learner fee decreases as volume increases. This means the more your organisation delivers, the more you save per enrolment.
β Cancellations reduce counts: If an enrolment is cancelled before it commences, it wonβt be counted in that monthβs total.
π How It Works in Practice
Monthly commencement count
- All Short Courses that start within a month are totalled.
Adjust for cancellations
- Cancelling before a course starts removes the learner from the count.
Final count locks in always on the evening of the final day of the calendar month
- No surprises: what you have on the 1st gets invoiced.
Cheaper per-unit costs at scale
- Your rate per learner lowers as total commencements rise.
π Example: April Activity
This 260 is recorded on the evening of April 30th, and you'll receive your invoice soon after.
βοΈ How This Model Fits With Others
Only short course commencements go here β Long Courses and other models are billed separately under your selected Long Course tier.
If you are running Hybrid training, any activities outside short courses will be charged per your Long Course Learner billing model.
β Why Providers Prefer This
- Fair and scalable β you only pay for what happens
- Transparent tracking β month-to-month visibility
- Cost-effective β lower rates once you scale
Warning: Do Not Use Class Timetabling with Short Course Billing. The Short Course billing model is designed to work without timetabled delivery. Adding a timetable will break billing calculations and will result in you being billed incorrectly. To ensure accurate invoicing, do not apply timetables to Short Courses.
