Run the workshop, not the spreadsheet
Sessions, seats, attendance and grades in the same place as the material.
Most training teams still run real classes, and most learning platforms only hold the e-learning. So the schedule lives in a calendar, the seat list in a spreadsheet, attendance on a sheet of paper that somebody types up later, and the grade is whatever the trainer remembers. In Tivali the class is the thing itself: it has its sessions, its seats, its waitlist, its attendance and its own grade, whether it runs on a video call or in a room.

How it works with Tivali
- 1
Set the class up the way it actually runs
One afternoon workshop, a few scattered dates, or the same slot every week. Each session carries its own time, its own trainer, and its own room or meeting link, so a class that moves online for one week does not need a second class.
Live Classes & ILT - 2
Cap the seats and let the rest queue
Set how many people fit and when registration closes. Once it is full the next person joins a waitlist with a numbered position, and when somebody drops out the trainer promotes whoever is next instead of rebuilding the list by hand.
Live Classes & ILT - 3
Decide who it is for
Open the class to the whole company, or scope it to a department or a team so it only shows up for the people it is meant for. Mark it mandatory when attendance is not really optional.
Departments & Teams - 4
Hang the material on the right session
Pre-reading before session two, the slides and the recording after it, the test that closes session four. The material sits with the session it belongs to rather than in one pile at the end.
Course Builder - 5
Take attendance session by session
Mark each person attended, absent or excused for each session, not once for the whole class. A person who came to four of five sessions reads as exactly that.
Live Classes & ILT - 6
Grade the whole thing together
The class gradebook mixes exam scores, assignment marks and the attendance rate into one weighted average per person, and you set how much each part counts. Ungraded work is left out of the average rather than dragging it down.
Analytics & Reporting - 7
Show the workshop was worth the day
Put the same test in the first session and the last one. The comparison shows how far the group moved, which topics landed, and who left knowing what they already knew when they walked in.

Features used in this workflow
Every step above is powered by a core Tivali feature — dive deeper into each one.
What you get
- One-off, occasional or weekly sessions, each with its own time, trainer and place
- Online or in a room, and a single session can differ from the rest of the class
- Seat limits, a registration deadline, and a waitlist that keeps its own order
- Attendance per session, marked attended, absent or excused
- Attendance counted in the grade beside exams and assignments, at a weight you set
- A before-and-after test so a workshop can be judged on more than the feedback form
