Classroom Dashboard
The Classroom Dashboard provides a user-friendly hub for the management and monitoring of your training course bookings.
Effortlessly add new courses, access detailed information on upcoming sessions, review attendance reports from past courses, and monitor waiting lists – all from one intuitive, easy-to-navigate dashboard.
Attendance Management
Managing attendance records efficiently is crucial for keeping your Classroom system organised and free from outdated information.
The Classroom system offers flexible attendance management options for administrators and course tutors.
Attendance can be updated manually or it can be automatically completed after a set period. For added efficiency, an Attendance Monitor can be designated to manage and update attendance directly through an online list.
Waiting Lists
The Waiting Lists feature enables course organisers to easily add delegates to a waiting list for any course title, offering greater flexibility in managing demand.
Waiting lists are tied to the course title rather than individual course dates, so when new dates are added, capacity is increased. If a cancellation occurs, all waitlisted users can be notified instantly. For courses that do not have a date, the Waiting List option is the primary feature, providing course organisers with valuable insights into demand to help them plan accordingly.
Capacity Planner
The Capacity Planner tool offers a clear and insightful forecast of potential demand for upcoming courses, helping you stay ahead of scheduling needs.
By analysing the Diary, the planner predicts who may be seeking course spots in the coming months. It then overlays scheduled classes to provide a comprehensive view of whether there are enough available places during any given period, ensuring you can proactively adjust your offerings to meet demand.
Reports
Classroom reports provide powerful, real-time data to help administrators stay on top of classroom and webinar training activities. We offer 6 key report types for Classroom reporting:
- Classroom Home Page Reports
- Real-Time Course Reports
- Course-Specific Attendance Reports
- Comprehensive Attendance Insights
- Capacity Reports
- Activity Reports
Evaluations
Bespoke evaluation forms can be sent to all course attendees to collect valuable feedback. You can tailor your own evaluation form by adding any questions you choose, ensuring you gather the insights that matter most.
These customised evaluation forms are automatically distributed to attendees after the course, with timely reminders to encourage completion, making collection of feedback effortless.
External Training
The external course booking system enables users to register for third-party training courses that are not listed within the Classroom system.
External courses can be integrated into the Classroom system with flexible options including the ability to implement an authorisation process and use additional administrative features such as cost centres and reporting. External courses can also be added to a permitted list, making them visible in the Library for easy access by users.
These external bookings are shown in the user’s record for easy tracking.
eCommerce
If you run external training courses, an integrated payment system can be used with the Classroom Booking System. It enables delegates or organisations to easily sign up and pay for courses directly on your site.
Once payment is made — via credit card or invoice authorisation — delegates are instantly registered, ensuring a seamless experience for both individuals and businesses.
