I paid for and downloaded the 2.5 version to load on my Joomla 2.5 site. I can't get it to work. I posted in the forum for help since his online contact forms just 404 on his site. Response to the forum posts are slow to non existent. Moving on I suppose. Luckily this wasn't that expensive...

As far as I am concerned we logged into your site and installed the extension for you as agreed. So your case have been closed. There was no issue with the extension by the way. We help users to set it all up if it is needed, even though we do not guarantee such service. I am very sorry if it took longer than you expected.
I installed this component on a clients site for taking bookings for sailing classes and instruction and has been happily doing so for the past few years. The categories are easily set up and the payment feature works very well. The client has even set it up to take gift vouchers for courses, which isn't strictly what it is meant for but works well. Marek the developer is excellent and if you have a question he is always prompt to answer. I whole-heartedly recommend this component and look forward to using the 2.5 and 3.0 versions.
Course Manger is a streamlined course booking module that takes your client to payment in a clean and simple manner, there are many options to choose from as to what you want your client to see, the support from Marek was excellent, he went out of his way to help us get the product the way we wanted it, thanks Marek
One of the best joomla components I have ever seen. Lightweight and great functionality.
I have used the Course Manager for Joomla 1.5 and this is a clean, well developed course registration component with easy to use and customizable capabilities. I intend to use its new Joomla 2.5 compatible version soon.
The developer is very professional and respectable focusing on customer care and professional support.
Thanks,

I have installed this program on my art website and it's going well. I have installed it on Joomla 1.7.2 and as I work through the component I realise that it will be very useful for my customer bookings and info on courses, costs etc.
I had some questions and the support was good, even over weekend and considering time frame with overseas communications. It's quite a powerful program with lots of options to configure what works for your business. Thanks for the help and patience with me. Very courteous emails are always such a relief when asking for help.

Being new at Joomla i was a little confused during my first projects involving Joomla, but having a developer like Profinvent on your side is for sure a great advantage. Very good extension and a very professional team!
Been using this product for about a month now and overall its excellent. Only reasons for 4 rather than 5 stars are, a few minor bugettes that involve workarounds and no formal documentation. The developer responds very quickly to questions on the forum and is generally very helpful. If you want some course management software try this first. Keep up the good work.
I am using Course Manager (v1.5.5 rev 5) on my sail training website to enable customers to book and/or pay on-line. It performs very well and meets all my expectations. Installation was easy but understanding the system took a little time and experimentation (on a beta website).
Profinvent's forum is invaluable and my questions answered promptly.
I have been using Joomla for 2 years. I am not a programmer but can delve into and modify certain bits of code & language files to improve the visual effect. I spent some time to get the customer interface right before going live with this excellent component.

We've used this component for 6 months now and it's been excellent so far. We haven't used the paypal feature yet but everything else works just as expected. The company support and forums are ALWAYS helpfull and dedicated to solving your problems and feature requests.
We're not looking any further. This is it for us!

Thanks for this component. Able to update courses, sessions, users and all bookings very easily. No complicated extra code required for my clients to try and work out when filling out new course details and managing bookings.
Configurable by category, registered or non registered booking settings, email booking confirmation settings, even fancy little icon configuration for categories. The developer communicates so its good to see where the component is going. Thanks again
