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.
Laptops and training data are provided and the format of the day is very much hands-on. The course is run as an 11-18, 2-week timetable, although other training dataset (International and Prep/Junior are available for you to use at your leisure).
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.
NB If you are a Gold-Start school you can substitute your 1 hour remote session and reduce the fee by £95 (but can’t be used in conjunction with other vouchers). Please state on the booking form when booked, discount won’t be applied retrospectively.

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.
