"We have been using Participant for all Clubs to apply to enter FA Competitions for over 10 years now, we have over 1,500 Clubs applying across eight FA Competitions each season.
Since introducing the course booking system it has been incredibly successful for us and extremely well received by all the Clubs completing the application and making payment of the entry fees online within minutes!
The technical support we received from initially setting up the online application and the continual support we receive as look to develop the application each season has been absolutely brilliant!"

A course booking system for UK course providers needs five things: payment before the course starts, waitlists, instalment payments, weekly payouts and free customer support. It should also be free for free events, with no monthly cost. LetsReg covers all of this, with a small transaction fee per paid booking only — and recurring bookings are available as an add-on for organisers who run repeating sessions.
Is there a free Eventbrite alternative for courses?
Yes. LetsReg is free to use for courses where you don’t charge participants. For paid courses, it charges a small transaction fee per paid booking with no monthly cost, in contrast to ticket-based platforms designed for one-off public events. Used by Liverpool International Football Academy, ExcelR8 and Multi Sports Development Centres.
How do I manage a waitlist for a full course?
LetsReg manages waitlists automatically once a course is full, adding participants to a queue and notifying them by email when a place opens up. Course providers can run waitlists across multiple cohorts at once, which is useful for dance, yoga, fitness and sports academies running parallel sessions.
Can students pay in instalments?
Yes. Instalment payments are available as an add-on, so participants can spread the cost of a course over the course duration. This works for term-based programmes such as dance schools, music tuition and sports academies. Apple Pay and Google Pay are supported on every instalment.
Can I set up recurring course bookings?
Yes. LetsReg offers recurring course bookings as an add-on, so you can set up a weekly class once and have participants register for a term, a season or an ongoing rolling schedule. Course providers like Liverpool International Football Academy save around 7 hours a week by automating recurring registrations.
How do I take payment before the course starts?
You take payment before the course starts by setting payment as required at signup in LetsReg. Participants pay via Stripe with Apple Pay or Google Pay during registration, and the money sits in your account before the first session. This means no chasing late payments and no late cancellations leaving you out of pocket.
Can I run a course with multiple sessions in one booking?
Yes. LetsReg lets you set up a course as a series of sessions with one signup and one payment for the full course. Participants receive automatic reminders before every session. This works for multi-week courses in dance, fitness, music, dog training and sports.
Can participants register part-way through a course?
Yes. With LetsReg you can set up multiple price categories so participants can join part-way through and pay only for the sessions remaining. This is common for term-based courses where new participants join after the start date.
