No, you're not and I can understand well your frustration.  So this trainer is a supplier, right?  You're his client.  If he can't do the dates tell him you'll find someone else who can.  He had made a commitment and now his potential conflicts (not actual!) are worrying him?  Maybe he needs to get real.

I'd respond and remind him that there was much diary juggling a couple of weeks back when this was first set, he mentioned nothing about potential conflicts and due to other commitments nobody from either session can make the date he wants to run the training.  Put the ball back in his court.  Either he wants the work or he doesn't.

And of course, you may want to consider whether you want to ever use him again!!!

If you do have to get another trainer and start again, so be it, but look at dates further out so that you can do the same thing again.

We're having the same thing here but think x3 the staff but the rest of the issues are the same.  However, our trainer is internal so it's a little easier.
