Exciting news: Courses available for booking on July 14th!
Hello everyone, I am here to answer the all-important question. The question we have been asked most these last few days and weeks !
When will next year’s courses be available to book?
ANSWER: 26/27 courses will be available to book from 9.30am on Tuesday 14th July.
Courses can be booked online, over the phone on 0117 903 8844 and in person at Stoke Lodge.
I know some of you will be super keen to get on specific classes so if you are planning to book online, it might be worth logging into the online booking site in advance, just in case you need to reset your password, if it has been a while since you last booked. The link for online booking is here.
Just as a reminder if you book online you should receive TWO email confirmations, one confirming you payment has been processed and one confirming your place has been booked.
If you don’t receive two emails, please do give us a call just to check you are correctly booked on. The payment system is usually quite overloaded on the first morning and sometimes struggles with the demand.
We will be here at Stoke Lodge, but we do expect to be quite busy, particularly the first week, so if you don’t get us first time on the phone do try again. We don’t have engaged tones on our phone system so if it seems like we are not answering, we aren’t ignoring you, we may just be on another call.
If you do call or come in to book it would be really helpful if you have the course code to hand.
You can leave us a message but we will unlikely to be able to pick up messages or return any calls on Tuesday.
All our courses will be available to view on our website www.bristolcourses.com
