Training Course: Introduction to Timetable Construction using Nova T6

Overview

This course has now been running for seven successful years. It has already trained scores of timetable constructors across the North West region and has become the standard training for users of NovaT6. Each course is limited to a maximum of six delegates thus allowing the trainer to spend individual time with each delegate.

The next course is on 4th and 11th March 2022 at Partnership for Learning Conference Centre, South Rd, Speke, Liverpool L24 9PZ (on the Jaguar Land Rover Halewood site)

It is a two-day course designed to provide the essential knowledge and skills to construct a school timetable using Nova T6. Level 2 is the level considered necessary for someone responsible for constructing a standard secondary school timetable.

 

Who is it for

This is an ideal course for staff with a new responsibility for constructing the school timetable but could also be useful for staff wanting to refresh their skills after a period away from construction.

Level 2 assumes some knowledge of school timetables but the course is suitable for those with little or no prior knowledge of Nova T6. It is also a good course for those with some NovaT6 experience who wish to develop a wider understanding of timetabling issues. It is primarily designed to support secondary schools in the North West area. To provide for the best possible individual support, we only allow a maximum of six delegates on this course.

Course content

Day 1 focuses on the basic principles involved in putting together a timetable, including:

  • Curriculum planning and delivery
  • Maximising staff resources
  • Budget and cost implications of construction
  • Principles of timetable construction
  • Introduction to Nova T6 as a tool for construction

Day 2 focuses on developing knowledge and skills of Nova T6 and includes:

  • Producing a curriculum model
  • Deploying staff to classes
  • Dealing with session lengths (doubles, triples)
  • Manual and Automatic scheduling
  • Printing and Reports
  • Timetable trouble-shooting

All the sessions will be highly interactive with the emphasis on providing the ‘hands on’ skills that a timetable constructor needs.  The training allows participants to focus on timetabling issues in their home school and to work on finding creative solutions.

In addition to the two days this course also offers a complimentary half day bespoke support for timetable constructors as they go through their construction journey.

Cost

The full two day course costs £400 per delegate. This includes:

  • lunch
  • all written and electronic resources
  • an additional half day bespoke timetable consultancy during the timetable construction period.
