Online booking for survival instructors

Survival and bushcraft instructors sell courses, not appointments: a discovery day, a weekend with a night outside, a workshop on fire, shelter or water, family sessions, private groups and company days. Each runs on set dates, in a specific wood or site, with a maximum number of participants for safety and to keep the teaching practical. Demand peaks in spring, summer and autumn weekends.

Filling courses through messages and spreadsheets means tracking who's in, who's on the waiting list and how many places are left. A booking page with a capacity per course keeps it straight.

On Book, each course is a service with its own price and description, and you open a slot for each date you run it, at its length. Set the slot's capacity to the maximum group size; each participant books one place, and the course disappears once it's full. Use the description for the meeting point, the kit list, minimum age and what's provided. A slot sits within a single day: for a weekend course, open the slot on the first day and explain in the description that the course continues the next day.

Private groups and company days, booked by one organiser, can be a service with a capacity of one.

Participants book without an account and receive a confirmation email; you receive an email for each new booking. Your calendar syncs with Google, iPhone or Mac. Book doesn't collect medical forms, deposits or payment. It costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited bookings and courses, no commission, no contract.

Your page shows times in your business's time zone, with its name displayed, so there's no confusion for clients booking from elsewhere. To fill a regular week quickly, create a slot once and repeat it on the weekdays you choose until an end date.
