# Cohort Management

> Create and manage cohorts, schedules, sessions, waitlists, students, and feedback.

A **cohort** is a specific run of a program—for example "EMT Basic Fall 2024" or "Spring Weekend Intensive." From the cohort you manage enrolled students, the waitlist, the schedule of sessions, attendance, outcomes, and feedback.

## Where to find cohorts

Go to [**Program Dashboard → Cohorts**](https://www.firstrespondershub.com/program-dashboard/cohorts) to see all your cohorts. Use **Create New Cohort** to start a new run, or click a cohort to open it.

Inside a cohort you’ll see six tabs: **Overview**, **Students**, **Waitlist**, **Outcomes**, **Schedule**, and **Feedback**. Each tab focuses on one area of cohort management.
