Class scheduling software built around your groups
Class scheduling software is a program that records which group meets when, with which teacher and in which room, so nobody has to piece the timetable together from several files. In Jamaster LMS the schedule starts from groups: each one carries its course, teacher, classroom, level and lesson pattern. Classes and prospect meetings share a single calendar, and every teacher's weekly teaching load is tracked.
The single-branch Mini plan is $49 a month, and the Pro plan for multi-branch institutions is $89 per branch per month (billed yearly), and you can try it with a 10-day free demo account.
Where a hand-built timetable breaks down
The timetable and the group list drift apart
When the weekly grid sits in one spreadsheet and group details in another, a change of teacher or room has to be made twice. Jamaster LMS stores the teacher, room and lesson pattern on the group itself, and its classes reach the calendar from there.
Meetings live in a separate diary
If trial lessons and prospect calls are booked in an advisor's own diary, nobody sees them next to the day's classes. The system puts classes and meetings on the same calendar.
Teaching load is worked out in someone's head
Before handing a teacher another group, most schools guess how many hours that person already teaches. Jamaster LMS shows each teacher's weekly load, so the decision rests on the real number.
What the scheduling side of Jamaster LMS includes
Groups with a lesson pattern
A group is defined with its course, level, teacher, classroom and weekly lesson pattern, which is what the timetable is built from.
One calendar for classes and meetings
Group classes and meetings with prospective students appear together; a trial lesson booking is saved as a meeting and shows up there as well.
Weekly teaching load
You can see how many lessons each teacher has in a week, which helps when choosing who takes on a new group.
Group capacity at a glance
Enrolled students are shown against the group limit, for example 2/16, so an existing group can be filled before a new time slot is opened.
Class reminder rule
When switched on, an automation rule prepares a draft text message two hours ahead of each class, and it can be turned off whenever you like.

Frequently asked questions
What does class scheduling software do?
Class scheduling software keeps the day, time, teacher and room of every class in one place, so staff all work from the same timetable. In Jamaster LMS that information belongs to the group, and its classes are listed on the class calendar.
How can I see each teacher's weekly workload?
Jamaster LMS shows every teacher's weekly teaching load. You can check it before assigning a new group so hours stay balanced across your staff.
Do trial lessons show on the same calendar?
Yes. A trial lesson is recorded as a meeting with the prospective student, and meetings share the calendar with regular classes.
How much does class scheduling software cost?
Scheduling is included in every plan rather than charged per feature. The single-branch Mini plan is $49 a month, and the Pro plan for multi-branch institutions is $89 per branch per month (billed yearly). Text message bundles are purchased on top, and the 10-day free demo account is enough to build a test timetable.
