It's 8:50 a.m. The coffee is brewing, the projector is on, and the first students are trickling into the room. The instructor comes running over: "Could you quickly give me a list of who's coming? And do you happen to know if that Mr. Jansen has paid yet?"

There you are. Digging through your inbox, searching through Excel spreadsheets, or flipping through bank statements. Before you know it, your workout starts ten minutes late, and you're standing there with sweat dripping down your spine.

That's not a great start. Not for you, not for the instructor, and certainly not for the student waiting. A professional course begins with an organized introduction. With i-Reserve you can print out that overview in an instant. Simply, with a single click.

Get rid of static Excel lists

Many instructors still work with lists they've created a week in advance in Excel. The problem? Reality changes faster than you can type.

  • Someone signed up last minute last night.
  • Someone called in sick this morning.
  • Someone misspelled their name when registering and you just fixed it.

Because i-Reserve works in real time, your attendance list is always up-to-date. The system checks the database immediately when it's generated. Anyone who registered five minutes ago is now on the list. No more surprises at the door.

The sore point: Has it been paid?

Perhaps the biggest annoyance upon receipt: uncertainty about payment. You don't want to play the police, but you're not a philanthropic organization either. If you work manually, you often have to check in another system whether the invoice has been paid. That information is linked in i-Reserve .

Thanks to smart variables, you can immediately show the financial status on the attendance list.

  • Is there a green check mark or €0.00 outstanding? Continue on.
  • Do you see an outstanding balance? Then you (or the teacher) will know right away: please politely ask if you can still pay by card at the front desk.

This prevents those awkward discussions afterwards where you have to run after your money while the certificate has already been issued.

Paper or tablet? You choose

You decide how you use the list. i-Reserve is flexible.

For the traditional approach:

With a single click, the system generates a polished PDF, complete with your own logo and branding. Simply print it, place it on the teacher's desk, and you're done. Students can also sign it to confirm attendance, if desired.

For the modern approach:

Why print when you can do it digitally? You can set up an attendance list to be automatically emailed to the instructor just before the start of the session. The instructor opens the list on their tablet or smartphone and digitally checks off who's present. This saves paper and looks more professional.

A flying start

Administration is often the neglected child in training sessions. But it's precisely at those peak times, the start of the day, that you want the technology to support you.

An automated attendance list ensures peace of mind.

  • The teacher knows who he is dealing with (including a list of names).
  • You have control over the payments.
  • The student receives a smooth and personal welcome.

It can be that simple. You arrange the coffee, i-Reserve care of the names.

Never search for names again?
