Booking

Before booking you must be eligible to attend a course. Unless stated in the course details, you must book in advance of any event. Please do not turn up to a course without making a prior booking or before contacting us. You are responsible for getting approval to attend a course from your department or manager, where appropriate.

Attendance approval

Some courses may require approval. You will be notified via email after you have expressed an interest in the course and you will either be asked to verify your status or your status will be verified on your behalf before your place can be confirmed.

With a Raven account

To make an online booking using this system you need a Raven account.

• If you are a current University or College member and do not have a Raven account, please contact the University Computing Service (UCS).
