Group bookings

A group booking is essentially identical to an individual booking - except that it applies to an entire group of students.

A group booking allows a school to sell a course to a group of students for a flat price per lesson. For example, suppose that company XYZ wants to offer a group of employees a French course. You agree to offer a course for up to 10 students for a particular price per lesson. This price will then be charged regardless of how many employees actually attend the course - filling the course is, after all, the company's job.

In order to enter a group booking, you must have defined group prices. You must also have defined the group, and assigned people to it (so that they will show up on the attendance list). Three notes of importance:

1. The people assigned to a group must be entered as addresses, but need not (and indeed should not) be defined as students. Since these people are not taking courses in their own right, you do not want them to show up on student lists.
2. Even if you are not going to keep attendance lists, you must assign at least one person to a group - otherwise the booking will not be debited!
3. On group bookings, the fields for correspondence and billing address are empty, since there is no address automatically associated with a group.

In all other respects, group bookings are identical to individual bookings.
