## FAQ
**What is an online coaching platform?**
An online coaching platform is the single place a coach or institute delivers everything online — live classes, recordings, cohort courses, self-paced content, payments and engagement — under their own brand, instead of stitching a video tool, a payment link, a file store and a chat group together. CoachPlus provides this on your own brand and app.

**How is it different from just using Zoom and a payment link?**
Separate tools don't talk to each other: links get lost, payments aren't reconciled to students, recordings are scattered, and the experience feels generic. An online coaching platform makes all of it one branded, reconciled source of truth — which matters more the more you scale.

**Should I run live, self-paced, or both?**
Usually both. Live cohorts create accountability and energy; recordings and self-paced content add flexibility and depth. The blend typically completes far better than self-paced alone.

**Can I sell cohort-based and self-paced courses?**
Yes. CoachPlus supports live cohorts, self-paced courses and a blend, with payments, instalments and receipts handled in-platform.

**Does it work for hybrid (online + offline) institutes?**
Yes. You can run online batches alongside offline ones with the same students, fees, attendance and recordings — the institute operations come from the coaching-software layer.

**Can I run it on my own brand and app?**
Yes. It runs inside CoachPlus's white-label platform, so learners join from your own branded app and domain, with your data isolated — see the white-label LMS pillar.
