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.

We'll send you an invoice to pay for your course. You must pay before you attend. All sessions are non refundable.
