The ASAP Private Lessons module allows you to create a comprehensive private lesson inquiry process. We offer two ways for a student to sign up for Private Lessons on your public site.
1 – Via Inquiry form. This allows you to place them with appropriate instructors. The inquiry form is customizable so that you can easily select which information you would like the user to provide as well as which questions are mandatory prior to inquiry submission.
2 – Via Lesson Packages. This allows your students to purchase a set of lessons, packaged by you. You will then just need to assign their teacher and set up the lesson schedule.
On this page, we discuss Lesson Inquiries only. You can learn more about setting up Lesson Packages here.

4) Before you select Inquiry Information, you will need to select which Personal Information about the inquiring student you would like to retrieve.
5) You may choose to collect other information, including Demographic Info, Medical Info, Education Info and Emergency Contacts. In this example, the user has chosen to not select any of the options.
6) You will then select any Lesson Inquiry questions you choose to ask your users.
7) You may add custom questions in the bottom section, “Other.” To do this, type the question in the text area and then select if the answer should come via a textbox, dropdown or file upload. If you select a drop-down, you must also include the drop-down options.
