What time zone are classes in?
What time zone are classes in?
Your local time zone is shown when you book, so please check that it is correct. Classes repeat at the same time each week. For families in the UK, there are a couple of short periods each year (about one to two weeks in March and one week in late October) when the clocks change on different dates in the UK and North America. During those weeks, your class will be one hour earlier in UK time, and it goes back to normal once both clocks have changed.
