Calendar and availability

See who is teaching what, and who is free

Every booking and public session on one calendar, with trainer availability built in, so the right person is on the right course.

  • Included on every plan
  • Month and week views
  • Outlook, Google and Apple feeds

The “can Sam do Thursday?” problem, solved

Rota questions eat time. Who is free? Who is already out that week? Is the room taken? When the answers live in people’s heads or in three different calendars, double-bookings are only a matter of time.

CertSlate keeps one calendar for everything you teach, and lets each trainer say when they cannot. Assign someone on a day they are away and you are told, before it becomes a problem on the day.

  • One calendar

    Client bookings and public sessions together

  • Availability

    A day, a range, or every Friday for up to 12 months

  • Warnings

    Clashes and unavailable days flagged when you assign a trainer

The calendar

Everything you teach, at a glance

  • Month and week views Multi-day courses show on every day they run.

  • Filter by trainer Pick one person and the days they cannot work are greyed out. With a big team, the filter becomes a dropdown.

  • Click a day for the detail Details open in a pop-up, so you never lose your place in the grid.

  • Your country’s week The first day of the week follows your region.

    Or you do it for them

    Admins can set availability for any trainer from the Availability tab on their page.

Planning without the guesswork

Advisory, not a lock

Unavailable and double-booking warnings never stop you saving. You decide when an exception is fine.

Venues and online

See where each session is, or that it is online, without opening it.

A trainer’s own view

Trainers get their own month and week calendar of the sessions they are assigned to.

Teach and run the business

If you are an admin who also trains, switch to Trainer view in one click.

Changes reach people

When a venue, delivery method or link changes, everyone booked is sent an update.

Back-dated entries

Record sessions that already happened so your calendar and your records agree.

Questions people ask

Will it stop me assigning someone who is unavailable?

No. It shows an Unavailable warning but never blocks you, because sometimes a trainer swaps a day or you have agreed an exception.

Can a trainer’s calendar show in Outlook?

Yes. Each trainer has a personal link they can subscribe to from Outlook or any calendar app. It stays in sync automatically.

Does it handle courses that run over several days?

Yes. A multi-day course shows on every day it runs, on both the admin and trainer calendars.
