Temporarily block your calendar to new bookings.

Overview:

We all know that life happens! There are times when you are unavailable and need to block your calendar for an extended period of time. Some examples are:

• You are unwell or recovering from illness
• Your car has been damaged and is out of action
• You don’t want to work on Public Holidays
• You are going on a holiday (allow extra time in the event of transit delays or jet lag)
• You work a rotating roster and are waiting for it to be issued

This is an important step in keeping your calendar up to date and ensuring a great learner experience. It is really quick and easy to do.

Important

Blocking your calendar will mean that learners are unable to book with you, it will not reschedule or cancel any existing bookings. If there are existing bookings you need to move, please refer to our support articles:
