Instructor marking hours calculator
Photo-based practical assessment scales faster than instructor capacity. Estimate how many hours your team spends on weekly marking, and what AI first-pass triage could return to teaching time.
Active students submitting practical work each week
Typical workshop or site evidence uploads
Open photo, compare to rubric, log feedback
Instructor marking time (manual)
9.6 hrs / week
115.2 hrs over a 12-week term
Illustrative time saved with AI first-pass triage
4.3 hrs / week
51.8 hrs per term (45% triage reduction assumption)
Estimates are illustrative. Actual savings depend on cohort size, rubric complexity, and how much first-pass triage your team automates. See our marking workload guide or book a demo to scope a pilot.
Why marking workload grows with cohort size
Every additional apprentice multiplies photo evidence to review. Without triage, instructors either batch-mark at the end of term or burn evenings on workshop feedback.
