Your TAFE runs on people. Your planning runs on spreadsheets.

Here’s what we hear from Victorian TAFE teams — and how MST takes the spreadsheet out of work plan season.

So here’s the fix

Six problems.
One system that solves them.

Every frustration above has an answer in MST.

The problem

“Our 2027 work plans are due 1 March, and we’re still building them in spreadsheets.”

With MST

Every 2027 work plan built, negotiated and signed in one place — well before 1 March.

All 2027 work plans signed
The problem

“We have a scheduling tool, but the real planning still happens in spreadsheets we upload into it.”

With MST

Planning happens in MST itself. Nothing to export, fix and re-upload.

The problem

“A course closes, a new one opens, and we have to move teachers fast.”

With MST

Re-negotiate a plan in minutes. MST saves it as a new version, so every change is tracked.

The problem

“Every plan has to fit the MEA: teaching hours, prep and marking time, other duties.”

With MST

Plans are built around the Agreement, with accountable hours allocated across every category.

The problem

“We get the least funding per teaching hour in Australia.”

With MST

See exactly where every teaching hour goes, so none are lost to admin.

“We can’t easily see who is teaching what, across departments.”

With MST
