Adding a New Course to Your Dashboard

Step 1: Go to www.school.melissacoppel.com/courses and log in. You will be automatically redirected to the main page, where you will find our On Demand, Hands On, and Online Live offer.

Step 2: Click on the course you want to purchase and add it to your shopping cart. Click on "Proceed to Checkout."

Don't worry about enrolling for a course you already have access to or having to pay twice. Our system will automatically recognize your subscription and apply any discounts you qualify for.

The course will then be added to your library for easy access.

1. After clicking "Place order," scroll down the "Order Detail" page and click "Course Dashboard."
2. Alternatively, go to the top menu of the page (next to the shopping cart icon), and click "My Courses" to access your library.

SEARCH BOX

Browse Through Your Course Library by Keyword 

Step 1: Log in and click "My Courses," located in the top navigation bar. On this page you will find a search box where you can enter course keywords (such as course name, ingredients, chef, category) to find the class you want.

Step 2: In addition to the search bar, you can use the horizontal filter menu to categorize your courses based on different criteria: 

• All: Displays all enrolled courses. 
• In Progress: Displays all the courses you have enrolled in. 
• Future: Displays courses with upcoming start dates. 
• Past: Displays courses you have already completed. 
• Starred: Displays courses you have bookmarked as favorites by clicking the "Star this course" option in the course drop-down menu. 
• Removed from View: Displays courses you have completed and hidden from your main overview. Use this filter to manage courses you have already taken or know too well.
