Choosing the perfect course name can feel like a monumental task. With just a few words, you should be able to convey confidence and authoritativeness for the program you offer.
Although it might feel like the stakes are high—after all, you are trying to persuade an audience that you have the expertise they are looking for—we have a solution for you.
We have a solution for you. Using the AI Online Course Name Generator above and these seven tips, you have everything you need to find the perfect name for your next online course.
So let’s get started.
Because there are many types of programs, the words you use for your course title can help your audience know what to expect.
For example, a signature course can benefit from a brandable and memorable name like Marie Forleo’s B-School; contrast that with a spotlight course that often articulates the one problem it solves, such as Create a WordPress Website in 24 Hours or Less Guaranteed.
Drone Launch Academy does an excellent job of differentiating the different types of online courses they offer. For example:
Considering the type of course you’re creating, you may even want to include a descriptive term that helps set expectations and even predict the experience.

The best course names state what they offer in a way that eliminates confusion. Although there are exceptions, most of the time, simplicity is best.
Here are three good examples of clear course titles:
While we could potentially improve them, they state their mission clearly.
However, simple statements of what is in a course don’t always work.
Let’s look at a few common issues that obscure clarity:
Consider your course from your audience’s perspective and think about some of the clearest course name ideas you can come up with.
When you use expressive, emotional words, you communicate to your audience that you understand their pain points and motivations.
What are some emotions your audience might want to feel?
Consider these catchy course titles examples that evoke emotion:
So, what do you want your audience to feel? Can you include something in your title that communicates your empathy for them?
There are a few ways to increase your course’s visibility, such as using organic and paid marketing and optimizing it for search engines by including the keywords that people use when searching for your course topic, positioning it for passive sales in the long run.
This doesn’t mean that you need to pack your course title with keywords. That may work in some cases, but we recommend you include a broad keyword that represents your topic.
Here are a few successful examples—note that the titles are search-friendly without feeling like a search phrase.
While researching keywords for your course, you may find inspiration from competitors, and you will get an idea of the market for your course topic.
Do you know what’s not funny? Coming up with a perfect name—like Awesome Skilled Statisticians—only to realize that your acronym is A.S.S.
Don’t let that happen to you. Check the acronym.
If you look at successful and well-loved programs, you will notice that people often refer to them using an acronym. Here are a few examples:
Some course creators intentionally search for an acronym that sets the right tone for their program. You can do that, but don’t take it too far.
Here are a few dos and don’ts:
Most creators only consider the course they are currently developing rather than what their collection might look like after completing dozens of them. Unfortunately, this lack of foresight results in a series of offerings that look haphazard.
We see this with Pixie Faire’s page and Jessica Sprague’s courses. While the individual offers seem appealing, the collections lack cohesion.
Once you have a random-looking collection, it is difficult to fix. After all, it would be a significant headache to rename all of your courses.
However, if you’re just starting, you can avoid this by creating a vision of your complete collection. Then, choose a naming convention or standard that works for this course and those in the future.
For a signature or flagship course, consider the advantages of owning your program’s domain. This can help people find your products and protect you from anyone trying to imitate you.
Owning the domain isn’t crucial for all course types, but it can be part of a seamless experience for a flagship course, so you might want to check if your domain name is available.
While hundreds of extensions are available, we recommend getting a .com domain. However, if someone else has it, you have options.
Owning the domain name does not mean you can’t host the course on your standard domain. For example, you could keep your landing page on your main domain and purchase a new one to point to the existing landing page.
Choosing the right course name feels good, and you’ll have greater confidence when you talk about it. Plus, your ideal audience will know what to expect.
Even though there is a lot to consider, our online course name generator and the tips we shared should make things easier for you.

A course name is a catchy, informative title that tells your prospective students what your course is about. Think of something like “Acoustic Guitar 101” or “Learn to Code In 90 Days”.
Your online course name should contain some sort of a promise, a brief description of what people can expect. Be direct and catchy but don’t try to be too clever at the expense of clarity.
The first best practice is to consider your course type. Introductory courses, certification prep courses, and broad flagship courses all have different sounding names. Another good practice is to think ahead and consider your entire course collection and how the name will fit with others.
