Group approvals for ETBs

One approved list for every school in your ETB.

Head office approves each sub once. Every school in your ETB can then see them, see when they're free, and book them in the ClassCover app.

Built and proven with Catholic dioceses in Australia

How ClassCover works with ETBs

Why ETBs need it

The approved list is out of date before it arrives.

Head office sends the approved list out as a spreadsheet. By the time it lands, many of the subs on it have already taken contracts.

Vetting takes time, and the best subs find other work before they clear. So schools book whoever they can, then hand the sub the paperwork and send them off to the ETB to be vetted.

How approval works

Approve once. Every school knows.

  1. 1

    The sub applies, or a school invites

    A sub applies to your ETB in the ClassCover app, or a school invites a sub it wants to use. The sub answers your ETB's questions.

  2. 2

    Head office reviews

    Every application lands in head office's own view, sorted by status. Head office runs its checks, then approves the sub or sends it back with a note.

  3. 3

    Every school can book

    Approved subs show a tick in every school in your ETB. Schools see who's free and book them in the app.

From application to approved

New In progress ✓ Approved

When an application needs more

Needs fixing

The sub is emailed to update it.

Under review

The application needs a closer look before a decision.

Unsuitable

The sub can't be booked in your ETB's schools.

Head office gives a green or orange tick, and your ETB decides what each one means.

Your ETB chooses

Two ways to handle subs who aren't approved yet

When a school needs more cover, it can search ClassCover for subs and SNAs nearby that it doesn't know yet. Your ETB chooses who shows up in that search.

Option 1

Schools only see approved subs

Head office approves subs first. Only then can schools find and book them.

Brisbane Catholic Education runs it this way.

Option 2

Schools can find any sub, and book only approved ones

Schools can invite any sub to join. Head office approves them before they can be booked.

Another Australian diocese runs it this way.

In both options, nobody can be booked until head office approves them.

Everyone gets something

Vetting and the final say stay with your ETB.
