Make Classes your Strongest Revenue Channel

If your store runs recurring classes, the Education Module gives you the structure, automation, and visibility to scale without the chaos. It’s included automatically as part of your BCC base website, so you can start organizing and growing your class offerings from day one.

Get Started with BERNINA Commerce Connection

Already Included with Your BCC Account

The Education module isn't an add-on — it's built into the BERNINA Commerce Connection platform. As a BCC partner, the Education Module is included at no additional cost, a $50/month value delivered through the Indition Commerce Platform that powers your store every day.

That means there's nothing extra to purchase, no separate logins to manage, and no new system to learn. Your classes, your customers, and your storefront all live together in one place — connected, organized, and ready to grow with your community.

Prefer just the Education Module on its own?

Running classes shouldn't mean
juggling five different tools.

Most BERNINA dealers cobble together spreadsheets, email drafts, paper sign-in sheets, and separate booking apps just to run a single class. Every missed reminder, every no-show, every unprepared student traces back to the same root cause: disconnected systems.

Without BCC Education
Emailing supply lists one by one the night before class
Students showing up unprepared — waivers unsigned, supplies forgotten
No-shows because reminders buried in a busy inbox
Class dates scattered across a wall calendar or Google sheet
No live seat visibility — customers have to call the store to ask
Class sign-ups disconnected from POS and online store
Hours every week on class admin instead of actually teaching
With BCC Education Module
Documents attach to notifications automatically — supply lists, waivers, prep files
Students arrive fully prepared, every time
Scheduled reminders sent via email and SMS — set once, run forever
Class calendar widget live on your storefront — always current, always clickable
Real-time seat availability on your website — urgency built in
Class registration flows through the same BCC checkout as machines and accessories
All participant records and exports in one admin workspace — no tabs, no spreadsheets

One module.
Everything you need for classes, covered.

Storefront

Students find and book your classes without ever calling the store

Three purpose-built widgets put your classes front and center on your BCC storefront. Not buried in a product list — a dedicated class experience that drives discovery and registration.

  • Class Listing widget — browsable catalog of all upcoming classes with filters
  • Class Detail widget — full class page: instructor, date, price, seat count, register button
  • Class Calendar widget — month-view calendar with all classes plotted and bookable
  • Live seat availability shown to shoppers — natural urgency when seats are low
  • Class checkout within the same cart as machines and accessories

Communications

Participants stay informed — automatically, every time

  • Reusable message templates — set up once, deployed across every class
  • Send manual notifications from Scheduled Classes for last-minute changes
  • Consistent outreach whether sending manually or via automation

Document Attachments — New

Students arrive prepared because the information traveled with the reminder

The single biggest reason students show up unprepared: documents sent separately, weeks earlier, buried in an inbox. BCC now attaches key files directly to the notification email that goes out 24–48 hours before class.

  • Attach supply lists, waivers, prep guides directly to reminder emails
  • Store default documents in Messaging Settings — reused across all classes
  • Add per-session attachments from Scheduled Classes when a class needs something specific
  • Consistent document delivery across manual and automated email workflows
  • Fewer follow-up messages, clearer expectations, better class-day readiness

BCC Classes vs. LikeSew Classes

LikeSew offers class scheduling as part of a general sewing retail POS. BCC's Education Module is built for BERNINA dealer operations — deeper integration, native document delivery, and everything inside one platform you already use.

The key difference: LikeSew serves all sewing retailers. BCC was built for BERNINA dealers — and every feature in the Education Module reflects that.

The full class journey,
managed in one place.

From publish to class day — every step is connected inside BCC.

01

Publish

Create a class in BCC admin. It immediately appears on your storefront listing, detail page, and calendar widget. Students can browse and register the same day.

02

Register

Students register online or in-store. Class enrollment flows through the same BCC checkout as machines and accessories. Seat counts update in real time across your storefront and admin.

03

Confirm + remind

Automatic confirmations and scheduled reminders keep students prepared. Send supply lists, waivers, prep materials, and reminder emails or SMS at your configured offsets.

04

Class day - ready

Pull the participant roster in one click, with every registered student, contact detail, and order record in one place. No spreadsheets, no cross-referencing, no surprises.

What dealers ask us most

Do I need to set up a new account or platform to use the Education Module?

No. The Education Module activates inside your existing BCC platform — same login, same dashboard. No new software, no migration, no separate subscription. Your BCC specialist enables it in your account directly.

What does the storefront experience look like for my customers?

Three dedicated widgets embed on your storefront: a Class Listing page (browsable catalog), a Class Detail page (full info: instructor, date, price, live seat count, register button), and a Class Calendar (month-view with all classes plotted and bookable). Shoppers see live seat availability, which naturally drives urgency when spots are low.

Can I export a participant list before class day?

Yes. From the Scheduled Classes admin view, any class session can have its participant list exported with one click — name, contact info, and order details. Everything you need for an attendance sheet or to prepare the right number of materials.

Can customers sign up for classes online?

Yes. Classes appear on your website with dedicated listings, detail pages, and a calendar view so customers can browse, select a date, and register.

How do I manage class attendees?

You can view, manage, and export participant lists directly inside BCC. Everything—orders, seat counts, and customer details—is connected in one workspace.

Can I send reminders to customers automatically?

Yes. You can schedule email and SMS reminders (like 24 hours before class), so customers stay informed without manual follow-up.

Can I send prep materials or instructions before class?

Absolutely. You can attach documents like supply lists, waivers, or instructions directly to your class emails so customers arrive prepared.

How hard is it to move my existing classes into BCC?

It’s simpler than it sounds. Most dealers just export their upcoming classes and attendee lists from their current system, and we help import and organize everything into BCC. You don’t need to move years of old data—just what you need to keep running smoothly going forward.

Turn Your Classes Into Your Most Reliable Revenue Stream

If your store runs recurring classes, the Education Module gives you the structure, automation, and visibility you need to grow—without the operational chaos. For the standalone Education Module, there is a one-time $250 setup fee to support a smooth migration of your existing classes, along with a $50/month subscription to keep everything running seamlessly.
