Program types

Pick your program type. The structure comes built in.

Group coaching, cohort courses, masterminds, challenges and bootcamps each come with their own structure: sections and community, plus a curriculum, live sessions, assessments and a release schedule where the format uses them. You name it, set the dates and add your material.

Group program types

Five group formats, each with its own shape.

The format decides how the program runs: a cohort gets weekly modules and live calls, a challenge gets daily missions and a sharing wall, a mastermind gets a member directory and peer sessions.

Group coaching

Recurring sessions, a shared curriculum, and group accountability.

  • 12 weeks in three phases: Discovery, Building, Integration
  • A baseline in week 1 and a final reflection in week 12 that mirrors it
  • Weekly 60-minute group calls, a community channel and a member directory

Cohort course

Weekly modules and live calls, a cohort moving together.

  • Week 0 pre-work, four weeks of Learn, Apply, Connect, then Ship
  • Each step unlocks the next, so people arrive at the live session prepared
  • Five weekly 90-minute live sessions and a cohort discussion channel

Mastermind

Peer sessions, a member directory, and hot-seat structure.

  • 12 bi-weekly 90-minute hot-seat sessions, each with a sample agenda
  • A member directory, a Lounge and a Wins & Shares channel
  • A Members' Wall that keeps the group warm between sessions

Challenge

Daily missions on a sprint timeline, with a sharing wall.

  • Five daily missions, each with a lesson, a task list and a reflection
  • A Sharing Wall where participants post their daily wins
  • Each day's mission releases on schedule from your start date

Bootcamp

A dense schedule, daily deliverables, and fast feedback.

  • Pre-work, then three weeks of daily modules: Foundations, Build, Ship
  • A deliverable worksheet and a 15-minute standup every weekday
  • A Demo Day session and a Build Log feed for daily progress
In every program type

The parts a program needs, already connected.

Whichever format you pick, the work, the sessions and the conversation live in one program, tied to each participant.

Content on a schedule

Each section can open on a date you set, so the whole group is on the same week.

Work between sessions

Worksheets, check-ins and task lists carry the work, and prerequisites set the order.

Live sessions

Group sessions and bookable 1:1 calls sit on the program calendar, with reminders.

Community

Channels and feeds keep the group talking inside the same program.

Shape it your way

A starting point, not a cage.

Build week by week, milestone by milestone, or activity by activity. The generated structure is where you start; everything in it can change.

Edit anything, by hand or with AI

Rename sections, reorder modules, add what you need and drop what you do not. Want to draft with AI? upcoach connects to Claude and ChatGPT, so they build the structure with you.

Work with Claude & ChatGPT

Self-paced and live in one program

Self-paced modules, worksheets and check-ins carry the work between sessions. Live group sessions and private 1:1 calls, even inside a cohort, carry the human time.

One program, many tracks

Scope events, schedule packages, channels and social feeds to sub-groups, and let checkout sort buyers into the right one.

Prove it worked

Structure is what lets you prove it worked.

A baseline at the start, recurring check-ins along the way, a final reflection that mirrors the baseline. Track each as a trend and show the change in your participants' own numbers.

Questions about program types

What is a program type in upcoach?

A program type is a ready-made structure for one format, such as group coaching, a cohort course or a mastermind. When you create a program and pick a type, upcoach generates that format's structure: its sections and community and, where the format uses them, a curriculum, live sessions, assessments and a release schedule, so you start from a working program instead of a blank one.

How is a program different from uploading a course?

A course is a folder of content people watch. A program is an operating structure: a curriculum arc, live sessions, check-ins, community and a release schedule, all tied to each participant. That structure is what lets you see who did the work and what changed.

Can I change the structure after I pick a program type?

Always. Rename sections, reorder modules, add what you need and drop what you do not. A twelve-week template can become eight weeks or sixteen. The generated structure is a strong starting point, not a cage.

Can I run a hybrid program, self-paced plus live?

Yes. Blend self-paced modules, worksheets and check-ins with live group sessions and 1:1 calls in one program. You can offer and manage private 1:1 calls inside a cohort, so your content does the teaching and your live time goes to feedback and accountability.

Can I run different tracks or pods inside one program?

Yes. Create sub-groups and scope events, schedule packages, channels and social feeds to each one. Checkout can sort buyers into the right sub-group, so one program can deliver different experiences without running it twice.

Which plans include every program type?

All of them. Every plan includes every program type and unlimited programs. Plans differ mainly by active participants, team seats and impact reports, not by which formats you can run.

Run your program the way it is actually shaped.
