Set Up

BlueSky Education

Set up usually takes less than 24 hours.

Our Customer Success managers will work with you to support set up implementation aligned to your school's requirements. We work with you to plan how the system will be set up to meet your school's requirements and agree your strategic goals for using BlueSky.

We can support building templates for pro-formas such as Lesson Observation forms and other quality assurance processes. The set up session is usually around one hour and following this, we aim to have your school up and running within one working day.

CollegeiP

We work with you to plan your system and set it up to match your requirements, e.g. recreating lesson observation forms, determining check-in dates, agreeing on your strategic goals and outcomes, etc. This is completed in a one-hour session. We then aim to have you up and running the same day.
