There are two basic account types: Class Accounts and Personal (Student) Accounts. Some personal accounts are also Coaching Accounts.

You need a personal account to enter the Training Room. You also need a personal account to create a Class or become a Coach.

A personal account that has coaching privileges for one or more Classes is a Coaching Account. There is no charge for Coaching Accounts.

The creator of a Class has coaching privileges for that Class. If you create a personal account and then create a Class, your personal account becomes a Coaching Account automatically.

Coaches may pay for their students directly, or their students may pay for themselves. Coaches are able to create invoices and make on-line payments for specific Students or Classes.

A Coaching Account can be used to coach more than one Class. Also, a Class can have more than one Coach.

Class Accounts represent chess classes into which students may be grouped. There is no charge for Class Accounts.

You need a personal account to create a Class. When you create a Class, your personal account becomes a Coaching Account, automatically.

When you create a Class, you will receive an email with two keywords.

The “Class Code” is used to enroll Students in the Class.

The "Coach Key" is used to add coaching privileges for the Class to a personal account. This allows a Class to have more than one Coach.

Each Student Account includes a 30-day Free Trial of the Student Training Room.
