Education Essex is excited to announce the transition to a new online booking system which is set to launch in the second half of the summer term, in preparation for the September 2024 offer. This upgrade comes after considering customer feedback and aims to centralise the process for our educational courses and school improvement traded services.
Early years and childcare providers who have engaged with the existing Education Essex online booking system in the past two years will be automatically registered on the new system, with the freedom to opt-out.
Key features of the new booking system:
- account migration: users of our current system will receive separate communications about the transition in due course
- integration: existing courses and traded school improvement services on a single platform
- unified experience: the new system will allow users to browse, book and pay for services through a single platform
-
minimised disruption: efforts will be made to minimise any disruption and the current booking system will remain active for bookings until 5 July
Communication and support:
- communication and support will be provided to our schools and providers throughout the summer term to facilitate a smooth transition
- user guides and videos will be available for schools and providers to help with using the new system
- as always, early years and childcare providers can contact the Workforce Development team inbox and telephone helpline if they need support at any time
