Scheduling your curriculum 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 second day of two days of training) is designed to allow users to understand how to schedule your curriculum in TimeTabler.  Whether that is manually, interactively or fully automatic (or a hybrid of all three).

Ideally delegates should attend the ‘Curriculum planning with TimeTabler’ course to gain a thorough understanding of all the work needed to get the school to the point of being ready to schedule and ensure you attain a timetable that meets all the needs of your school.  Delegates who opt not to attend the curriculum planning course will be able to attend but will be at a disadvantage as the examples used are a continuation from that course.  Due to the nature of this course there will not be time spent with delegates revisiting materials and and content from the Curriculum planning with TimeTabler course.

Computers and training data are provided and the format of the day is very much hands-on.  The course is primarily run focusing on Secondary school curriculums but the afternoon session allows delegates to concentrate on different 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 the place on the course, 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 schedule your timetable 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 and is valid for 12 months.

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.
