LearnDesk Live Classes enables you to run classes that occur on a one-time basis or on a recurring basis or on a fixed basis. In Live Classes, you are required to define and publish an event to ensure students can book the class.
- One-time scheduled classes help to get new students to try your existing class. For example, you want to offer a free trial class to a new student that can occur on April 1, 9-10 am. (Read article Events - One-time)
- Recurring-schedule classes help to organize your ongoing classes where you teach at a set schedule each week or month. An example may be your guitar class that occurs every Friday, 6-7 pm. (Read article Events - Recurring)
- Fixed schedule classes help to also organize seminars, talks, tutorials, speaker events, or summits that happen once, on a set schedule. For example, a summer camp that happens on fixed dates or a boot camp that you are organizing as per a fixed schedule. (Read article Events - Fixed)

Event not available / Unable to book a Live Class
If an Event is not available (i.e. Event is not defined or Event is not published) for a Live Class, then a message will be displayed "No scheduled events are available for booking for this class." or "The events scheduled for this class has not been published." when a student will attempt to book the class, as shown below:
This may be due to one of the reasons:
