If you want to use the Shared Bookings service then please contact Digital Training to arrange a bespoke session. The Shared Bookings service allows for a more complicated arrangement involving multiple members of staff, linking to a shared mailbox, or allowing additional questions to be added to gather information.

We can also provide bespoke sessions of this Personal Bookings course (or the Shared Bookings course) for teams within the University.

This course includes:

• Who has access to a Bookings licence
