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."

Example "author": { "@type": "Organization", "@id": "https://id.bookingsystem.example.com/organizers/1", "name": "Central Speedball Association", "url": "http://www.speedball-world.com" }
category	Array of Concept - or - Array of Text	Provides a set of tags that help categorise and describe an event, e.g. its intensity, purpose, etc. Example "category": [ "High Intensity" ]

If you are a junior netball lover (or the parent of one!) these are an unmissable holiday activity."
genderRestriction	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.
