How to book courses for spring 2024
You can now book spring 2024 early years courses through Microsoft Bookings.
When you're asked to select a service, this is the course or training session shown on the booking page. Further down the screen, there's an option to show more services. This will show you other courses in the same category.
Once you’ve selected a course, if you can’t see a date in bold after searching through the calendar, it means that there are no more spaces available for that course.
