Essential Webinars

What are the recordings?

We've put together ten Essential training videos to help schools get to grips with Arbor. Each session focuses on a different part of Arbor's MIS system. The sessions are no longer than an hour and you can watch them whenever is convenient for you!

Who should watch?

We find the users who get the most value from these webinars are those who have a high level of access, such as SLT, student administrators, HR administrators, attendance officers, behaviour leads and business managers.

Although anyone who uses Arbor as a staff member is welcome to watch the training videos, we suggest only watching the ones relevant to your role and purchase package.

For how teachers and TAs can use Arbor, we've pulled everything they'll need to know into these videos

How can I watch?
