I'm with an organization which has regular training classes for employees. I'm building a new drupal site to replace our current intranet site. I'm completely new to drupal but learning quickly. A highly requested feature for the new site is an employee training class registration section.

I'm looking for ideas on which direction to go for creating this tool. Would CCK help build it? Are there any modules which would help jump start the project?

Some features I'm looking for are:

  • ability to enter new classes (date, time, instructor, location, number of seats, etc.) and show them in a calendar. Each class will either be mandatory or optional
  • users can view the class details and register online (as long as there are seats available)
  • a class administrator will be able to see details such as who is registered, how many seats are left, etc.
  • automatic reminders to those who have registered for a class
  • notifications to users who have not yet completed a mandatory class

I'm sure there are other features, but I think those are enough to give you a general idea of what I would like to do.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Some of this will be custom code, but I would start with CCK and signup.

I didn't know the signup module existed. That looks like a good start. Thanks!

If anyone can offer any additional advice, I'd appreciate it.

I am in need of a similar project for a community school. Have you done this? Could you let me know how, and what modules were used?

Thanks.
