Actually, I think that its not unusual for us to see a few enrollments 
the week before a class...  so listing classes that are "next week" is a 
good idea - i'm sure this is a trend seen by all training companies.... 

For us, this becomes even more attractive to companies that decide on 
last minute training but wouldn't otherwise go but for the cost of last 
minute travel.  In our case, we offer an "all inclusive" package, that 
we usually  honor up until the day before a class (assuming there is 
space in the class). 

Showing classes that are currently occurring doesn't seem like a good 
idea since its too late to enroll.  However, it's not uncommon for a 
course starting next week to not make it to the homepage until the week 
it starts...and for that to drive some last minute enrollments.

just my 2 cents.
