📝 Overview

Yes. Instructors can manage their own availability for Appointments. Availability can be managed by account Admins and Owners, or by the instructors themselves. This guide explains how an instructor manages their own availability, and where to go if you'd rather manage it for them.


🧑‍💻 How an instructor manages their own availability

Instructors don't need any additional permissions to manage their availability. They just need to be set up as a staff member with instructor status. To manage their availability, an instructor heads to My Account Manage Appointment Availability, where they can manage all of their schedules.

💡 The tools for setting hours, creating overrides, and blocking time work the same way whether an instructor manages their own availability or an Admin does it for them. For the full step-by-step, see how to manage an instructor's availability schedule/s here.


🛠️ Managing availability as an Admin or Owner

If you're an account Owner or Admin and would rather manage your instructors' availability yourself, you can do that from your dashboard.
