CELCAT Timetabler is user‑friendly timetabling software for higher education and TVET providers. It helps you create, update, and publish class timetables at scale. Planners use it to schedule modules, rooms, and staff members, fix clashes, and manage changes in one place. The system publishes timetables to the web and to calendar feeds, so students and staff always see accurate, real time class scheduling updates.

Practical Benefits and Features


CELCAT Timetabler replaces slow, manual scheduling with an automated scheduling app that reduces errors and admin work. By centralising rules, resources, and constraints, it cuts duplicated data and manual steps across faculties and campuses.

For academic and timetabling teams, it helps:

  • Build consistent timetables that reduce double bookings, missed clashes, and last‑minute room changes.
  • Plan assessments, labs, and group classes with clear visibility of rooms, staff availability, and student groups.
  • Use space more efficiently, so you can control venue and facility costs.

For leadership teams and CIOs, it delivers:

  • Reliable timetable data that supports student lifecycle management and service planning.
  • Lower admin overheads for timetabling, class booking, and change management.
  • Faster, clearer communication when changes occur, so students and staff receive updates through their usual channels.

How It Connects and Shares Data

CELCAT Timetabler is designed to sit at the centre of your campus scheduling ecosystem and share timetable data with the systems you already use. It connects to student information systems (SIS) to import programme and curriculum structures, modules, and confirmed registrations, and to surface timetable information in the student portal. 

It links to LMS platforms so course sites, groups, attendance tools, and class timetable templates match the scheduled activities. 

It also integrates with ERP systems to support room and asset cost reporting, charge‑backs, and maintenance planning. Standard integration patterns and APIs keep data flowing to reporting and analytics tools. Its cloud‑ready design supports high performance during peak scheduling periods and across multi‑campus operations.

Who Uses CELCAT?

CELCAT Timetabler is used by different campus teams, each with their own day‑to‑day scheduling needs.

  • Timetabling and planning teams: Build semester timetables from programme structures, staff availability, and room constraints using a timetable generator. Use a single timetabling software tool instead of many spreadsheets to manage class scheduling and reduce clashes.
  • Faculty administrators and registrars: Sync enrolments from the SIS so class sizes, groups, and class bookings reflect real registrations. Publish a CELCAT timetable to web and calendar feeds so staff and students automatically receive updates in their calendars.
  • Student support and front‑office teams: Manage room bookings and a class booking system for ad hoc events, make‑up sessions, and group classes. Generate CELCAT calendar views for departments and campus operations teams, so they can quickly check free venues and timetable gaps.
  • Operations, estates, and finance teams: Run space utilisation and staff load reports to inform decisions on venues, teaching capacity, and future planning. Link activity data to ERP systems for more accurate room, asset, and maintenance cost reporting.
  • Assessment and exams offices: Create exam schedules that avoid clashes and meet invigilation and venue rules, while using the same timetable templates and constraints as teaching schedules.

Turning Timetables into an Asset

CELCAT Timetabler supports reliable, data‑driven timetabling that improves resource use and the student experience, while integrating with SIS, LMS, ERP, and reporting tools. If you are assessing a timetable solution for your institution, focus on how it integrates with your core systems, the quality of timetable data it manages, and the publishing workflows that keep everyone informed in real time.
