Course

This page describes the Course type.

This type is derived from https://schema.org/Course, which means that any of this type's properties within schema.org may also be used. Note however the properties on this page must be used in preference if a relevant property is available.
Properties
Optional properties
Property
Expected Type
Description
@type
 Text​
 Must always be present and set to "@type": "Course"
@id
 URL​
A unique URI-based identifier for the record.
@id properties are used as identifiers for compatibility with JSON-LD. The value of such a property must always be an absolute URI that provides a stable globally unique identifier for the resource, as described in RFC3986.
The primary purpose of the URI format in this context is to provide natural namespacing for the identifier. Hence, the URI itself may not resolve to a valid endpoint, but must use a domain name controlled by the resource owner (the organisation responsible for the OpenActive open data feed).

Example
"@id": "https://api.example.com/courses/12345"
accessibilityInformation
 Text​
Provide additional, specific documentation for participants about how disabilities are, or can be supported at the Event.

Example
"accessibilityInformation": "This route has been British Cycling assessed as an accessible route, meaning it is suitable for the majority of adaptive bikes. The route will have no or low levels of traffic, there will be plenty of space and will have a good surface throughout. If you have any questions about using this route on an adaptive bike on this ride, please use visit https://www.letsride.co.uk/accessibility or call 0123 456 7000 and ask for the Recreation team."

  "minValue": 50,
  "maxValue": 60
}

 Organization

Person​
The person or organization who designed the Course. An author might be an schema:Organization or a schema:Person.
This property may reference the @id of the organizer of the CourseInstance within which this Course is embedded, to reduce data duplication.

The camp is a non-residential holiday camp providing ‘Nothing but Netball’; not only will there be top quality coaching and fun netball activities but there is even an opportunity to meet and be inspired by an elite player. If you are a junior netball lover (or the parent of one!) these are an unmissable holiday activity."

 GenderRestrictionType​
Indicates that an event is restricted to male, female or a mixed audience. This information must be displayed prominently to the user before booking. If a gender restriction isn't specified then applications should assume that an event is suitable for a mixed audience.
