How do I book a free trial lesson?

1. Register first

To book a free trial lesson at a school near you, you need to be a registered user of this website.

If you are not yet a member, register by clicking on the ‘register’ link, on the bottom left hand side of this screen. 

Once you are a member, or if you are already a member, make sure that you are logged in to the site, so you can make your booking.

2. Find a local school

Next, find a school near you that you are interested in giving a try.

Use the ‘Find a school’ link in the main menu if you know the school you are looking for. Schools are listed alphabetically according to their name and many have a rating that has been given to them by people who have already tried the school or become members.

If you would like to find a school in a particular location, use the search facility in the main menu. Simply enter your required class location, for example Manchester and all of the schools in your area will be listed.

When you have found a school you would like to attend, you are ready to make your booking.

3. Book your free lesson 

To book your lesson, click on the "Book a trial" link within the school details (you will see it at the bottom right of the directory listing) and follow the prompts you are given. When you have made your booking, you will be given a booking reference number which you will need to make a note of and bring with you to your lesson.

Then all you need to do is to make sure that you come to the school with the right clothing, be prepared to try something new and have fun!
