This course, spread over four workshops, is highly interactive and tailored to you. You’ll work in small groups, crunching numbers together under the guidance of our experts.

Tailored for timetable data

Go beyond generic Excel training. Here you’ll learn formulas and formatting specifically designed to help you clean up and crunch timetable data. So you can calculate space type demand, quickly and accurately.

Rock at reporting

Create clear space demand reports for more effective space planning.

Present your reports with confidence, using charts, graphs and tables to bring them to life.

Learn ‘hands on’

Learn while working with your university’s own timetable data.

So you can create a space demand report that you can use straight away.

Is this course for me?

This is a great course for space managers – and timetablers – because it covers space demand reporting and how to prep your timetabling data to produce a report. Higher education heroes in both roles regularly attend, and say it gives them a really good overview of the entire space scheduling process.

If you’re confident in cleaning and analysing a timetable dataset to determine demand, we recommend taking a look at some of our other courses instead
