Instructors

Co-taught classes and automatic backups.

Live training doesn't always run with exactly one instructor. TryTami models co-teaching and backup instructors the way you actually deliver.

Can a class have multiple instructors in TryTami?

Yes. TryTami lets you assign more than one instructor to a class — for co-taught and team-taught sessions — and designate backup instructors who can step in automatically when the primary instructor cancels.

Instructor cancellations are one of the most expensive fire drills in training operations: a scramble across phone, email, and spreadsheets to find a qualified replacement before the class slips. With backups modeled in the system, that scramble becomes a hand-off.

What it does

Model classes the way you actually run them.

Co-instructors per session

Two or more instructors on one class, each with their own calendar, role, and pay treatment.

Backup instructors

Pre-qualified backups attached to a session, ready to step in without re-running the search.

Automatic step-in

When the primary cancels, the backup is engaged and notified automatically.

AI-matched backups

Backup candidates suggested by the same AI matching that scores availability and skills.

Utilization that understands roles

Reporting that counts co-teaching and standby correctly, not as double-booking.

Cancellation-risk visibility

Sessions without a viable backup flagged before they become a problem.

Frequently asked questions

Can I assign two instructors to one class?

Yes. TryTami supports co-instructors on a single session, each with their own role, calendar, and pay treatment, so team-taught classes are modeled accurately.

How do backup instructors work?

You attach pre-qualified backups to a session. If the primary instructor cancels, the backup is engaged and notified automatically — no re-running the search under pressure.

Does multi-instructor support affect pay and utilization tracking?

Yes, correctly — TryTami models roles (lead, co-instructor, standby) so pay and utilization reporting stay accurate instead of counting standby as double-booking.
