- Below the calendar you will see the Date(s) and Time(s) you selected, and the headings “Select” and “Outlook”
- Check the Dates & times if correct and Click on “REQUEST NOW”
- “Outlook” will probably be orange and say MAYBE” until your request is accepted as for now this is just a prediction made by the program
- There is a legend below explaining the colours in “Outlook” that will indicate the likelihood of getting the requested dates
- Green – Very likely you will get this date
- Orange – You may get this date
- Red – It is very unlikely you will get this date
- Even if the outlook is red, we may still find an instructor for that date, so don’t give up right away
