Software for Education (S4E) Program
First Class published by Human Edge
First Class is a software package for timetabling for schools. First Class will take you through everystep of your timetabling cycle, from entering student subject choices to the printing of your timetabes, even publishing them to a web page! We've taken great care with our user interface to ensure that you are presented with relevant data that can be efficiently maintained, and provide tree views, drag-and-drop functionality and context sensitive menus to make your job quicker and easier.
While First Class provides maintenance screens that allow you to enter all your standard data, it can also import data provided by other systems. Whether it is student details from your administration system or details from other timetable packages, the import options will save valuable time normally spent re-keying data. Once your timetable is complete we have a number of generic and custom exports for interfacing back to your third party applications. Our Developer Toolkit gives you direct, read-only access to the database. You can write your own exports, or use it to interface between First Class and these, and many other applications.
First Class supplies you with many options for distributing your timetables, including to the web. This feature gives you the ability to locate a student or staff member at any time during the cycle.
First Class has proved easy to use and suits both small and large schools.
