How it works
We’ve designed Class Attendance Tracker (CAT) so that both the Organisers and Attendees have a simple user-friendly experience and get the information they need easily.
Organiser
Class/event Organisers are responsible for organising the classroom session or event.
This could be someone in an administrative role organising a class/event or someone delivering the session such as a facilitator, presenter, teacher or trainer.
Class/event Organisers access their dashboard on the web-based CAT Organiser administrator portal.
We have two types of Organiser plans, a Basic and Corporate version, as explained on the Subscriptions page.
The Corporate version has all our advanced features and requires training from your organisation.
Contact us for the Corporate Organiser User Guide and partner videos.
Read the Basic Organiser User Guide (limited functionality).
Attendees
Attendees are the individuals that are attending the class/event. This could be a student, employee, volunteer or indeed anyone attending the class/event that you are organising.
An Attendee accesses their account on the CAT Attendee mobile app.
If you are NHS staff or a student at a UK University please follow the instructions on our dedicated Support page.
Read the Basic Attendee User Guide (for non-NHS staff and non-UK University students).
1
Organiser creates a class/event QR code on the CAT administrator portal.
2
Organiser displays the class/event QR code on a computer or projector screen during the session.
3
Attendee scans the class/event QR code using their CAT Attendee mobile app. As a once-off task the Attendee needs to Download the app to their mobile and follow their Organiser's instructions.
4
Attendee can immediately view their attendance record on the CAT Attendee mobile app.
5
Organiser can view all attendance records in real-time!
We understand the importance of CAT attendance records being transferred to your HR, LMS and other systems. We have developed interoperable links to other systems and can work with your system suppliers to enable data interoperability.
Frequently Asked Questions
“It’s great to see the reaction of staff when they use CAT and realise how simple it is to record their attendance – just by scanning a class QR code. Our administrators love it because there is no more manual data entry and spreadsheets to deal with, doing away with all the headaches that come with paper registers!”

“Fantastic and easy to use! I needed a contactless solution for taking attendance at our small private school when students arrive and leave. We were able to easily purpose CAT to accomplish this and signing in/out of school for teachers and students has never been easier or quicker. Even beyond COVID, we will continue to use this system.”

“Having Class Attendance Tracker (CAT) QR has now revolutionised the way our GP registrars (trainees) register their attendance at our teaching sessions, and this would have been an impossible task with our switch to virtual teaching! CAT has made what was previously a clunky administrative process into a simple, streamlined one.”

"Since the launch of the CAT, our process for recording and reporting attendances has improved immensely. We can easily keep track of our staff and students who can see their CAT attendance record in real-time on our learning portal, it is simple yet elegant. Customer support is excellent and enhancements are implemented quickly."
