Scheduling your curriculum with Skolaris
1 day (9:30-4pm), £239+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 second day of two days of training) is designed to allow users to understand how to schedule your curriculum in Skolaris.
The course is designed for any level of timetabler using Skolaris to create the school timetable but we would strongly encourage that the Curriculum planning with Skolaris course has been attended (as this course builds on that knowledge). The training day is designed purely around scheduling and not the setting up of the curriculum.
All-in-one PCs and training data are provided and the format of the day is very much hands-on.
We operate small groups of a maximum trainer to delegate ratio of 1:10 and you will receive a certificate of attendance. You will also gain access to the on-line course too so you can reference materials (and extra material) at your leisure so please ensure you use your email address when booking.

I love timetabling, there is no other way to say it!
This one-day course will cover all aspects of scheduling. There are very few schools where you can press the ‘magic’ button have a coffee and voila your timetable is complete! As such we’ll discuss scheduling strategy, the different scheduling methods and the really important aspect of what to do if there is a problem!
Just remember an 80% scheduled timetable is just that! 20% is still to go and at times that’s where the hard work begins.
If you have any questions about the course just fill in the form below. Look forward to working with you.
