How do I attract more students to my classes?

Complete your profile with credentials and a professional photo, write detailed class descriptions, price competitively, offer convenient times, and encourage reviews. Students trust instructors with complete profiles and positive ratings.

What should I charge for my classes?

Research similar classes in your area to stay competitive. Consider your experience, credentials, class size, and included materials. Students see one all-in price with a small platform service fee already included, so set the rate you want to earn. Most CCW classes range from $75-$150.

How do I handle difficult students or safety concerns?

You have full authority to remove students who violate safety rules or behave inappropriately. Document incidents and contact CCW Hub support immediately. Student safety is paramount - never compromise on range safety protocols.

Can I teach multiple types of classes on CCW Hub?

Yes. You can offer CCW/CPL classes, advanced tactical training, women-only courses, beginner handgun safety, and more. Diversifying your offerings can help you reach more students.

What happens if I need to cancel a class?

If you must cancel, do so as early as possible (at least 48 hours notice). Students receive automatic full refunds. Repeated cancellations can harm your reputation and may result in account penalties.

How do I get more reviews from students?

Deliver exceptional training, then politely ask students to leave a review. Send a follow-up email 1-2 days after class with a direct link to leave feedback. Make it easy and remind them that reviews help other students find quality training.
