Functionality
Does not allow the creation of courses for unregistered users and few payment options. You do not have the option to register a link for pay
Ease of use
Relatively easy, but with many unnecessary options that hinder more than help.
Support
Horrible, terrible! I sent several emails, created several tickets and do not bother to respond. They have no forum for official support.
Documentation
Horrible, terrible, don't count on them. They send you a short pdf and expect you to solve everything yourself.
Value for money
Fair, if you had a good level of support. It should be cheaper and they should warn you that they are not supported.
I used this to: Why I needed it. I have no justification other than this one ....

Right way, but not complete

Functionality
The idea is great, but extensions doesn't work very properly (parent category cannot be saved, calendar views cannot be saved, and more).
Ease of use
generally after some test the use would be pretty easy.
Documentation
I used this to: offer dance lessions and courses

I recommand it

This is a great extension and I recommand it for user who needs to manage courses. It's easy to setup and intuitive. I recommant it.



Thank you

poor support

i purchase for this product and i posted asking for help 4 weeks ago but... no reply from the support
I was looking for an extension to manage and offer multiple courses in various configurations...and having looked at various options, Course Manager 3.x is the perfect fit. Bonus is...it's also simple to set up, and I'm a newbie!



Encountered a problem (of my own making, doh!), but a refreshingly fast and positive response from Profinvent support resolved the matter very nicely.



Highly recommended!

I just started with the courseman, but everything is going fine and a good support.

The user guide is clear, good organized and easy.

Great for courses

Great tool for selling courses online, easy to use - lots of options, i would highly recommend it.



One thing that's missing is the ability to accept course deposits/part payments hopefully this will come in the future.
The "Course Manager" extension (we used the Joomla! 2.5 / 1.7.9 Version) is a good choice if you want to handle for example courses in different categories, with different teachers and custom options for each course. Nice features are the custom fields, a easy to use backend and the possibility to book a course directly in the frontend. Admins have a good overview of booked seats or whatever you want to count per course. We did not test the login and user area! We think that this extension fits the most needs if people are looking for a tool to manage and handle their courses.



4 of 5 stars because: price, missing translations (German for example), some small bugs if you use jQuery beside mootools, the backend layout does not follow the default Joomla! structure at 100%, the extension seems still under development if you take a closer look at the codes. There are also some other small points but for most people this extension will be more than 5 stars! All in one: all features are like described, it´s a great tool - go for it!
