What's included in the programme?
Knowing the sector
During Series One, participants will be introduced to the Higher Education Landscape and learn about the Student Life Cycle and where Tribal’s SIS fits in.
Participants will be introduced to key learning topics and objectives of the programme and our approach to learning and development and getting the most from the programme.
This Series is essential for setting the stage and providing participants with the foundational knowledge, skills, and resources needed to succeed throughout the programme.
The Tribal way
This Series builds on the early knowledge participants have learnt from Series One and starts to get under the bonnet of the core elements of the SITS software.
In Series Two, participants will get their first taste of System Tools and an introduction to System Management, the Academic Model, Data Modelling, and Tribal’s leading practice.
Programme participants will come together as a group for the first time, work with their fellow learners on scenario based activities, and solve real-world problems through Tribal Labs.
Specialising in SITS
As participants move into Series Three, they will explore the more complex aspects of System Tools and take a deep dive into Tribal’s approach to Integration, Migration, Reporting and Communications, as well as the Academic Model.
Participants will choose a specialist functional area, e.g., Admissions, Finance, and Students, and come together for a second time to design, develop, test and deploy a solution on their chosen path.
Enhancing your skills
In Series Four participants will get an opportunity to specialise in a second functional area, building on the skills developed in Series Three.
Programme participants will come together as a group for the final time to work through real-world problems through Tribal Labs. Drawing on the skills and knowledge developed from the previous series, the programme will end with participants completing a final assessment.
Hear from one of our first cohort...
The programme comprises four series, each including several structured ‘modules’. Outside of these structured ‘modules’, participants return to their institutions to apply their newfound knowledge and skills, enhancing their job performance and productivity.
This programme’s holistic approach ensures that attendees are well-prepared to excel in their roles and contribute significantly to their institutions’ success.
The University’s expectations for participants in this programme include recruiting appropriately qualified UK-based candidates, with Tribal offering support for interviews and candidate selection.
The University is expected to provide management support throughout the course and meaningful work-experience roles when participants are not actively engaged in the programme.
All of the teachers are brilliant, and they have incredible knowledge in all of their areas.

I enjoyed this training and think it will be very helpful in supporting my institution's priorities.

I really enjoyed the inclusion of activities. I found these very helpful for breaking up the content of the session. Doing the activities allowed me to consolidate my knowledge before moving onto a new topic. As a result, I would say that I come away from sessions with activities with a higher level of confidence in the material.

The Statutory session was great. I really enjoyed the step-by-step process of generating the file for HESA, seeing it be uploaded, and then examining any issues within, and troubleshooting them. It was very helpful to view the whole process, and to see how to deal with issues that arise.
