CourseCloud vs general event ticketing tools for training courses
Event ticketing tools are built to sell seats at one-off events. Training courses run on repeat, are often booked by companies for several staff at once, and end with a certificate that needs renewing. Here is where the two differ.
Side by side
| General event ticketing tools | CourseCloud | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | One-off events, sold seat by seat | Training courses that run on repeat, classroom, live online and eLearning |
| Company bookings | Usually card payment per ticket | Companies book several people and pay by invoice or card |
| Booking fees | Often a fee per ticket sold | No per-booking fees: one flat price for your size |
| Quotes for group training | Not usually supported | Quotes and invoices raised from the booking |
| Certificates | Not included | Issued with a QR check, and added to the learner's Workpass |
| eLearning | Not included | eLearning and SCORM built in |
| Who finds you | People browsing events | People and employers searching for training courses on the CourseCloud marketplace |
When event ticketing tools may suit you better. For conferences, social events and anything that runs once and needs no certificate or invoice, a ticketing tool is the simpler choice.
