Bookingo

About

Bookingo - Course Booking System is a powerful WordPress booking plugin for a small service industry, schools and trainers. The plugin will be perfect as a booking for a swimming school, language or driving school, wherever we deal with a repeating pattern of classes.

The plugin allows you to create an unlimited number of courses and an unlimited number of groups within the courses. That is why you can, for example, create several bookings for various industries within one website. For each course group, you can specify a course start and end date (and even time), number of lessons, class duration, student limit, and a schedule based on recurring events or individual lesson dates. You can also specify the location, contact details of the trainer and additional information (e.g. about the obligatory swimming cap). For a given course, you can create a description with a featured image or promotional video, based on the WordPress post editor.

The big advantage of this plugin is the ability to define your own form fields, so regardless of the industry or course, you can create your own form using a simple editor. You can also create your own field sections, such as Course Participant Data or Applicant Data. There can be any number of such sections or form fields.
