What is TimeTabler?
TimeTabler was the first timetabling program to run on a microcomputer; and has been in continuous development for 40 years, to face the changing challenges of creating a quality school timetable.
Our Team are widely acknowledged as the UK experts on timetabling and we wrote the timetabling "bible" : 'Timetabling- A Timetabler's Cookbook‘ (ISBN 978-09561161-0-9) which is used by thousands of timetablers around the world.
We’re proud to say that we have more experience of timetabling than anyone else in the UK.
TimeTabler has been in continuous development for over 40 years, responding to changing curricular demands. The way we do this is by encouraging our Users to add their suggestions to our Wish List.
TimeTabler has been bought by over a thousand schools in the UK and in 90 countries across the world. The fact that we are Teachers & Timetablers as well as Programmers means that we provide software that schools want and need.
Our active and daily involvement in timetabling means that TimeTabler remains a state-of-the-art solution to any timetabling problem you may face. We are fortunate in that as well as our own Team, we have a range of Associates who can offer superb support not only for our software, but for all aspects of timetabling from an introduction to using TimeTabler through to workshops, webinars, and even writing your timetable for you.

Educational Impact
It runs on a PC or laptop with Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8, 10, etc. It does not need any special cards or additions.
Apple-Mac users can run it (and quickly) under Parallels or Fusion or Crossover or VirtualBox; Linux users similarly.
The licence allows you to install it on as many machines as you wish, at home & at school, as
long as they are only for the purposes of your school or college.
Timetabler can be installed in just a couple of minutes.
The free tutorial includes: the TimeTabler program (it’s a fully-working version except that you can’t change the teachers’ names), with demonstration data already loaded, to save you time, and a 24-page A4 booklet, which takes you step-by-step through the main features of the program.
If you are new to timetabling, the booklet also gives you an introduction to timetabling principles. It takes about 1¼ – 1½ hours to work through the Tutorial, during which time you’ll schedule at least one timetable.
Just download it by requesting it from the download page. You need the software and the PDF to print out the step-by-step Booklet. Or (more slowly) we can send it to you on CD by post.
Creating a timetable is a complicated task. For that reason, we don’t simply sell you our software and then walk away and leave you to it. Instead, we offer you a huge range of support, in various formats and at various levels depending on your needs and experience.
Some of our schools make extensive use of our support. Some don’t use it at all. But it’s good to know it’s there, for whenever you need some help with your timetable, student options, etc.
The free Tutorial with the step-by-step Tutorial Booklet, gives you a quick introduction to the general style of the program.
