- Step 2: In EBS, click the Registers tile at the top.
- Step 3: Mark the register after each lesson.
Made-up learners. Practice only. Nothing is saved to EBS.
Check with your line manager, as your department may have its own rules on lateness and missing sessions.
Now do it for real in EBS (opens in a new tab)Your jobLook a mark up when you are not sure. Late is not absent.
- /: Present: in the lesson from the start.
- O: Absent, unknown reason: not here, and nobody has told you why. It lowers their attendance rate, so only use it when you have no reason. Follow it up.
- E: Left early: was here, but left before the end.
- L: Late: arrived after the start. Put the minutes late in the Late box.
- P: Placement: out on work experience or placement instead of the lesson.
- R: Remote attendance: joined the lesson from somewhere else, agreed in advance.
- V: Trip or visit: away on a college trip, visit or residential.
- N: Notified absence: not here, but someone told the college in advance.
- S: Sick: not here because they are ill, including when they ring in sick.
- D: Drop-in: an apprentice who is not due to attend this session.
- F: Finished studies: has completed their course.
- T: Transferred: has moved to another course or group.
- W: Withdrawn: has left the course.
- X: Class cancellation: the session did not run.
Why this works in your room
The right mark keeps the register true, and shows who needs following up.
For your learners
A learner who is late is not marked absent, and one who keeps missing sessions is noticed and followed up.
For you
You know which mark to press and why, so marking is quick and you can trust it.
Your jobRead the four steps. They start with the third O.
If a learner keeps missing sessions
- Step 1: Log it on EBS.
- Step 2: Add them to your department's at risk register, if it has one.
- Step 3: Tell your CTL.
- Step 4: Ask your MIS officer to send a letter, and try to phone the learner.
