Course waitlist software
Coursebricks is course waitlist software for training providers. When a course is full, learners join a waitlist, and every freed seat is offered to the next person within seconds, so courses refill without anyone chasing people by email.
Turn a full course into a waitlist, not a lost booking.
Turn on a waitlist for any course in Coursebricks. Once every place is booked, learners join the queue from the registration page instead of leaving.
- A waitlist on any course that needs one
- Learners join from the course's registration page
- See who is Waiting and who has been Offered
- Learners who book the course leave the queue automatically
Offer every freed seat to the next learner automatically.
When a seat frees up through a cancellation or transfer, Coursebricks emails an offer to the next person on the waitlist within seconds. Nobody on your team has to spot the cancellation or chase anyone.
- Offers sent automatically, in queue order
- Lapsed offers go back to the queue and the seat is offered again
- Staff can send or re-send an offer by hand
- Your office team copied on offer emails
Hold the seat while the learner decides.
An open offer in Coursebricks holds the place, so nobody else can book it until the offer deadline. Learners accept with one click from the email, with no account needed.
- A one-click Accept button in the offer email
- No learner account or password needed
- Shorter deadlines when the course starts soon
- Your own deadline when you send an offer by hand
Let learners keep a confirmed place while they wait.
Coursebricks can require waitlisted learners to book another upcoming date of the same course, so they always hold a real place. Accepting an offer moves that booking to the offered course and reuses what they already paid.
- What the learner already paid moves with the booking
- Learners on a payment plan choose a new plan for the balance
- Cancelling the backup booking takes the learner off the waitlist
Decide who gets the next seat.
The waitlist in Coursebricks is ordered by priority, and your team can change that order. Staff can also add a contact to the queue directly, with no backup booking needed.
- Drag to reorder the queue
- Send an offer to anyone in the queue
- Remove people from the queue
How to fill freed seats from a waitlist in Coursebricks
Coursebricks refills a full course from its waitlist in four steps, from the first sign-up to a confirmed booking.
- Step 1
Turn on the waitlist
Switch on the waitlist for the course. If you want, require waitlisted learners to hold a booking on another date of the same course while they wait.
- Step 2
Learners join the queue
Once the course is full, learners join the waitlist from the registration page. Your team can also add a contact directly and reorder the queue by priority.
- Step 3
Coursebricks sends the offer
When a seat frees up, the next person is emailed an offer within seconds and the seat is held for them. If the offer lapses, the seat is offered to the next person.
- Step 4
The learner accepts with one click
The learner accepts from the email with no account needed. A backup booking moves to the offered course, reusing what the learner already paid.

What is course waitlist software?
Course waitlist software keeps a queue of learners for a full course and offers them places that free up. Coursebricks is course waitlist software for training providers: learners join the waitlist from the registration page, freed seats are emailed to the next person within seconds, and each seat is held while the learner decides.

How is course waitlist software different from a sign-up list or spreadsheet?
Course waitlist software offers freed seats for you. With a sign-up list or spreadsheet, staff have to notice each cancellation and contact the next person by hand.

Can learners join a waitlist when a course is full?
Yes. When a course with a waitlist is fully booked, learners join the waitlist from the registration page. You turn the waitlist on for each course that needs one, and anyone who books a place on the course is taken off its waitlist automatically.
Are waitlist offers sent automatically?
Yes. Coursebricks emails an offer to the next person on the waitlist within seconds of a cancellation or transfer. Lapsed offers go back to the queue and the seat is offered again, and staff can also send offers by hand.
What happens if a learner doesn't accept a waitlist offer in time?
The seat is offered to the next person. Coursebricks holds the seat until the offer deadline, then returns the lapsed offer to the queue and offers the free seat again automatically. Offer deadlines are shorter when the course starts soon, and never later than the course start.
Do learners need an account to accept a waitlist offer?
No. Learners accept a waitlist offer with one click from the offer email, with no account needed. Until the offer deadline, Coursebricks holds the seat so nobody else can book it on the registration page.
Can waitlisted learners hold a place on another course date?
Yes. Coursebricks can require waitlisted learners to book another upcoming date of the same course, so they always hold a real place.
