Trainer availability requests
Coursebricks handles trainer availability requests for training providers. Ask several trainers at once if they can teach a course, see who said yes in one list, and let workflows take care of the follow-up, without chasing trainers over email.
Ask several trainers at once if they are free.
Coursebricks sends one availability request for a course to several trainers at once, each with a personalised email. Send it from the course, or while you create the course.
- Your own sender, subject, CC and reply-to
- A personalised message for every request
- Emails go out in the background while you keep working
See who said yes without chasing replies.
Trainers accept or decline a Coursebricks request from a link in the email, with an optional message. Every reply lands in one list, so you see who is available at a glance.
- Who accepted, who declined and who hasn't replied, in one list
- Resend or cancel any request
- Record a reply yourself when a trainer answers by phone
- Accepting never assigns a trainer, so you choose who teaches
Act on every trainer reply automatically.
Coursebricks workflows start when a trainer request is sent, accepted or declined, so the next step happens on its own.
- A task to assign the trainer as soon as they accept
- A thank-you email with the course details
- A nudge to ask someone else when a trainer declines

Trainer Availability Requests FAQs
Trainer availability requests let you find a free trainer before you confirm a course. Coursebricks asks several trainers at once, collects every reply in one list and can start the follow-up automatically.
What are trainer availability requests?
Trainer availability requests ask trainers whether they can teach a course before you confirm the date. Coursebricks handles trainer availability requests for training providers: one request goes to several trainers at once, each trainer accepts or declines from a link, and every reply lands in one list.
How is Coursebricks different from asking trainers over email and spreadsheets?
Coursebricks keeps every availability request linked to the course and the trainer. With email and spreadsheets, replies sit in separate inboxes and someone has to collect them. In Coursebricks you send one request, see every reply in one list and assign the trainer from the same place.
Can I ask several trainers if they are available for a course at once?
Yes. Coursebricks sends one availability request to several trainers at once, with a personalised email from your own sender. You can send the request from the course or while you create it.
Does accepting a request automatically assign the trainer to the course?
No. Accepting a request doesn't assign the trainer, so you stay in control of who teaches. Trainers reply from a link with an optional message, and your team can record a reply that came in by phone, resend a request or cancel it.
Can I automate what happens after a trainer replies?
Yes. Coursebricks workflows can start when a trainer request is sent, accepted or declined. A workflow can then create a task to assign the trainer, send a thank-you email or remind your team to ask someone else.
Can I see every request for a trainer in one place?
Yes. Every availability request in Coursebricks is linked to the trainer's profile and to the course, so you can see who was asked, who replied and what they said.
