Learn how to place a Course ‘on hold’ until it is confirmed to be running.

Issues are sometimes inevitable! If it seems that a Course is no longer certain to run, whether that is due to trainer illness or your customer does not think the date is suitable for them, you can place it ‘on hold’ until you have confirmation that it will go ahead.

While your Course is on hold, you will prevent additional bookings and make it clear in your schedule that this Course is not confirmed.
