How to book a session
At HSE, we’re committed to revolutionizing online training and coaching, which means making booking sessions as simple as possible.
Here’s how you can book a session with an HSE coach.
First, log into your account and click the Find a Coach button. Here, you can sort through coaches based on their skills, experience, and availability.
Each coach is listed with pricing information and a brief profile snippet. There’s also a button to view the coach’s full profile and one to book a session.
Click on Book Session once you find a coach you want to work with.

If your coach offers training on a range of skills, you’ll be able to select the one you want to focus on from the drop-down Hard Skills menu.

On the Checkout page, you’ll be asked to choose your payment method (Stripe or using your HSE wallet). Enter the required payment information and confirm your booking.
Accessing your Session
Once you’ve successfully booked and paid for a session with an HSE coach, you’ll receive a confirmation email, and your session will be added to the dedicated Sessions page, on your profile menu.
The link to attend your session is on this Sessions page and in your confirmation email.
If you enjoyed your session and want to continue working with the same coach, you can use the chat function to ask them about their availability.
Some coaches may even offer access to discounts on bulk session packages, so it’s worth checking to see whether you can get a great deal.
Keep in mind, that even if you get a deal on a package, you will need to schedule each session from your package individually. You can do this by following the session booking instructions listed above.

Client scheduled session
When you book an initial or additional session with a coach, you’ll see a small message box where you can share details about your goals and expectations for the session with your coach. Any information provided will be included in the confirmation email sent to your account once you complete your booking.

If your coach isn’t ready yet, you’ll see a screen letting you know that you’re waiting for them to arrive. If your coach doesn’t turn up on time, give them a few minutes. If they still don’t arrive, you can choose to Report the session.

Clients can report sessions after 5 minutes of waiting in the lobby.
If you report a session, your coach will be informed and can contact you about the issue and reschedule the session. If your coach doesn’t resolve the issue, you can contact the HSE team and request a refund.
Notably, you can still report a session after it starts. For instance, if your coach leaves in the middle of a session and doesn’t come back, click the Leave button.

You’ll be given the option to attempt to reconnect to your coach, go back to your Sessions list, or Report the session and request a refund.
