Advanced timetabling with 'Nova T6'

Course Information

  • Price : £225 + VAT
  • Duration : 1 day

Have you ever hit the 'wall' whilst scheduling and wish there was a bigger button to press, that would magically solve the problem? Sadly despite the power of computers and the software 99% of timetablers come across a scheduling blockage or problem and aren't always clear what they need to do to progress.

This one day course is designed to lead you through real timetabling examples and explore the differing options to you as a timetabler to analyse what the problem/blockage is and importantly give you the options and tactics for solving it!

The course uses demonstrative data from a range of real schools and allows delegates to study worked examples and practice using a variety of strategies to solve timetabling issues.
As part of the instruction we will also delve deeper into the inner workings of Nova T6 so that delegates can leave with a better understanding of how Nova T6 works and how they can best use the software to prevent and solve issues.

The day won't be for the faint hearted, and don't expect an easy day! Having said this it will be an enjoyable day and you will have a sense of achievement and go away with invaluable knowledge.

We operate small groups of a maximum trainer to delegate ratio of 1:8 and you will receive a certificate of attendance.
