Course Information
In 2012, we are running the Timetabling Concepts Course, the Overview and Daily Organiser Courses and the Advanced Course.
All Overview and Daily Organiser Training Courses use our latest software version, The Timetabler Version 8.1. Course materials are enhanced and updated on a regular basis.
Training courses are run by Timetabling Solutions Trainers who all have a background working and timetabling in schools. Our Trainers also construct timetables year round for schools with all different types of structures and curriculum requirements.
All training materials and catering are supplied at each course. Courses run from 9.00 am - 4.00 pm each day.

This one day instructor led course introduces participants to the principles of timetabling and analyses typical curriculum models used in schools. No experience in timetabling is assumed. Note: This course is designed as a theory based course incorporating discussion and a hands on activity. No computers or software is used in this course.

Overview Course & Daily Organiser
The Overview Course covers the use of the Student Options and Timetable Development modules of The Timetabler. Student Options is covered on day one and Timetable Development is covered on days two and three. Participants will gain the most benefit from attending the three days consecutively to see the whole timetabling process. However the modules can be attended separately if preferred.
The Daily Organiser Course usually runs on the day following the Overview course and may also be attended separately or consecutively with the Overview Course.
