Classroom courses for learners

Find classes near you

1. 1Open Courses. On a computer, click Courses in the left menu. On a phone, tap Explore, then Courses.
2. 2Tap the Face to face tab.
3. 3Tap Set location and choose where you are. See Your location.
4. 4The list now shows the nearest classes first, with the distance, for example 3.2 km away. Classes whose institute has no map point come last.
5. 5Use Free or Paid to narrow the list.

Each card shows the city, and then the distance, the seats left or the start date. You can also find classes on an institute's own page. See Teachers and institutes.

Read the class details

Open a course. Under its name, a Face-to-face classes box lists what the institute filled in:

The price card shows the fee. It may be for the whole course, or per month (shown as / month).

Apply for a seat

1. 1On the course page, tap Apply now (or Apply for free when the course is free). The line under it says: No payment on Sikhami: you pay the institute once they confirm your seat.
2. 2The Checkout page shows the course, the institute, and the fee, as Course fee or Fee per month.
3. 3Check Your contact details: your name and phone number. The institute uses them to reach you, confirm your seat and collect the fee. Add your phone number to your profile first if it is missing. See Verify your email and phone.
4. 4Tap Apply now.
5. 5In the box Send your application?, tap Confirm.
6. 6You see Application sent, and then your application's page opens.

When a batch is full, the course page shows Seats full and you cannot apply. Ask the institute about the next batch.

After you apply

Your application stays in My orders and payments (open Settings & privacy), on the Courses tab. Its page, Order summary, shows the status at the top.

1. 1To cancel while it is pending, open the application and tap Cancel application.
2. 2In the box Cancel this application?, tap Cancel application again, or Keep it to stop.

On the course page, the button shows your status too: Application pending · view or Successfully enrolled. When you are confirmed, you also appear in the course's Students list.

Paying the fee

Sikhami does not take payment for face-to-face courses. You pay the institute in the way they ask, after they confirm your seat. If the institute keeps its fee book on Sikhami, it can print a receipt for each payment or save it as a PDF for you.

Because the money does not go through Sikhami, questions about fees, refunds or receipts for these courses go to the institute.

Your batch, timetable and attendance

An institute that runs its batches on Sikhami can add you to a batch using your Sikhami username. This is separate from your application: being confirmed does not put you in a batch by itself. Give the institute your username if they ask for it. See Choose a username.

Once you are in a batch, My learning shows a My batches section with:

• The batch name, the class days and times, and the place.
• Attendance with your percentage, from the classes the institute marked in the last 90 class days. Late counts as present.
• Your fees: Fees paid, an amount fee due, or an amount fee overdue.
• Join live class, when the batch has an online class link.

Attendance and fees are kept by the institute. If something looks wrong, ask the institute to check its records.
