# Instructor types

> Categorize your instructors under Settings > Clubs > Instructor Types, and set for each type how many bookings an instructor can hold at once, how many people a session takes, and which revenue account the bookings book to.

An instructor type is a category for the staff members can book directly, such as *Personal Trainer*, *Tennis Coach*, or *Yoga Instructor*. You assign a type to each [instructor](/staff/instructors), and the type sets defaults for how private sessions with that kind of instructor work. Owners and admins manage instructor types.

## When to use it

* **A gym with personal trainers and physios** keeps them as separate types, so each reports its own revenue and can be filtered on the schedule.
* **A personal trainer who runs small groups** gets a type with **Max Concurrent Bookings** set to 3, so three bookings can share one time slot.
* **A tennis academy** sets its *Tennis Coach* type to take **A group** of up to four people per session.

## Where to find it

Go to **Settings** > **Clubs** > **Instructor Types**. The list shows each type's name and description.

* Click **Add Instructor Type** to create one.
* Click a row, or use its **Edit** action, to change it.
