Onboarding wizard walkthrough
How the 5-step onboarding wizard at /onboarding sets up a new training center on CPR.co.
The onboarding wizard at https://cpr.co/onboarding is how brand-new training centers sign up for CPR.co. It walks you through four short setup steps and creates your account, your first location, your cert types, and optionally your first class.
When to use the wizard
Use the wizard when you are creating a brand-new CPR.co account for your training center. If you already have a login, go to /login instead.
The five steps
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1. Your Center | Enter your business name, pick your booking URL, and create your admin email and password |
| 2. Location | Add your training address — name, street, city, state, ZIP, and timezone |
| 3. Courses | Select the certifications you offer (ARC, AHA, or other) |
| 4. First Class | Optionally create your first class with a date, time, capacity, and price |
| 5. You are Live | Confirmation screen with your booking page URL and a QR code you can share or print |
Step 1 — Your Center
- 1Training center name — the public name of your business.
- 2Booking URL — the short slug after cpr.co/ that students will see. The wizard auto-generates this from your business name, but you can change it.
- 3Your first and last name.
- 4Email address — this becomes your admin login.
- 5Password — must be at least 8 characters.
Step 2 — Location
Enter the street address where you teach classes. If you travel to your students instead of teaching at a fixed location, give the location a name like Mobile — we travel to you and skip the street address.
Step 3 — Courses
Pick every certification type your center offers. Cert types are grouped by accreditation body — American Red Cross (ARC), American Heart Association (AHA), and Other. You must select at least one to continue.
Step 4 — First Class
Adding a first class is optional but recommended. If you fill in the date and time, the wizard creates your very first class and publishes it automatically. Students can book it the moment you finish onboarding.
- 1Certification type (only shown if you selected more than one in Step 3)
- 2Date (must be today or later)
- 3Start time and end time
- 4Max students (1 to 500)
- 5Price per student (enter 0 for a free class)
Step 5 — You are Live
This is the success screen. It shows your brand-new booking page URL, a QR code you can download or print, and a Go to my dashboard button that logs you straight in.
What you can do from this screen
- Copy your booking URL with one click
- Open the booking page in a new tab to preview it
- Download a QR code as a PNG to print or stick on marketing materials
- Click Go to my dashboard to start managing your center
What a completed onboarding looks like
After the wizard runs, your new tenant has: one tenant record, one admin user (you), one location (if you added one), the cert types you selected, and one class (if you added one). It looks similar to the demo-cpr tenant we use for testing — a basic working center with just enough data to accept a booking.
Troubleshooting
Common issues
- That booking URL is already taken — pick a different slug. Short, lowercase, hyphens only.
- Please wait — checking URL availability — the wizard is still checking. Give it a second and try Continue again.
- Password must be at least 8 characters — use a longer password.
- A valid email address is required — double-check for typos.
- The Create my account button is spinning but never finishes — check your internet connection and try again. If it still fails, email support@cpr.co.
- I forgot to add a class and now I cannot find Step 4 — log in to your dashboard and go to Classes to add one.
Stuck? Email support@cpr.co with what step you are on and what error you see.
