Curriculum planning with TimeTabler
1 day (9:30-16:00), £275+vat
- Blue dates are in Market Harborough
- Green dates are online but led by a trainer
- Pink are online/self study
This one-day course (typically first day of two days of training) is designed to allow users to understand how to setup TimeTabler from the beginning with exporting in mind (rather than being an after-thought)!
The course is designed for any level of timetabler using TimeTabler software to create the school timetable. So, if you are starting your timetabling career or are an experienced user of another timetabling product, this course is for you.
Computers and training data are provided and the format of the day is very much hands-on. The course is primarily run focussing on Secondary school curriculums but the afternoon session allows delegates to concentrate on different curriculums and scenarios more specific to their school, whilst still having the experience and knowledge of the trainer to call on to answer questions.
We operate small groups of a maximum trainer to delegate ratio of 1:10 and you will receive a certificate of attendance. On purchasing your place you will also gain access to the on-line course too, so you can reference the materials (and extra materials) at your leisure after attending the course, allowing you to refresh your knowledge on how to build your curriculum in TimeTabler. Access to these courses can only be given based on the email address given at the time of booking, so please ensure you use your email address when booking. Access to the course is for 12 months.
To maximise time and concentrate on particular aspects of TimeTabler you will be sent some on-line materials that you are expected to complete PRIOR to the course.

I love timetabling, there is no other way to say it!
This one-day course will cover all aspects of setting up your curriculum. I love looking at and drawing curriculum diagrams – if you can draw it you are half way to success. Bring yours along and more than happy to tell you what curriculum structures are required.
